The International Practical Shooting Confederation (IPSC) and the South African Practical Shooting Association (SAPSA) announce that CZ is the official match sponsor for the 2025 IPSC Handgun World Shoot XX jubilee, a global event and the highest Level V competition on the IPSC match calendar, that will take place at the Frontier Shooting Range in the city of Matlosana, South Africa.
The parties had signed a sponsorship agreement at the IWA OutdoorClassics 2024 show in Germany for a long-term partnership and cooperation. CZ already sponsored the IPSC Handgun World Shoot XIX – that was held in Thailand – in 2022, where a total of 1345 competitors from 73 countries competed in 30 challenging stages. Moreover, as an IPSC Global Partner in the “IPSC Handgun” field, the Czech manufaturer also actively supports the best IPSC athletes in various divisions and members.
IPSC Level IV African Handgun Championship will also take place in the same range
From September 22 to 29, 2024, at the same range as the 2025 IPSC Handgun World Shoot the IPSC Level IV African Handgun Championship will also take place. This will offer athletes a great opportunity to familiarize themselves with the new range, weather and environment in view of the 2025 event.
IPSC President Vitaly Kryuchin commented: “CZ currently offers a wide range of the highest quality sport pistols, which are utilized by our best athletes to compete at the highest level. We are grateful to our long-term Global Partner for its active support of our sport and see that CZ is once again among the main sponsors of the largest match of the year – the World Shoot. Thanks to the support of our sponsors, we continue to provide athletes with the best conditions for competitions.”
“I am proud that our company will be the official match sponsor for the jubilee of the 2025 IPSC Handgun World Shoot XX” – said Jan Zajic, CEO of Ceska Zbrojovka.
“I am convinced this partnership is mutually beneficial and that together we can attract new IPSC members and contribute to further popularization of the sport.”
