The 2027 World Rhythmic Gymnastics Championships will be held in Baku
The closing ceremony of the 42nd World Rhythmic Gymnastics Championships took place in Frankfurt.
As 1news.az reports citing the Azerbaijan Gymnastics Federation, during the ceremony the World Championships flag was handed over by the German delegation to the World Gymnastics organization, which in turn passed it to representatives of Azerbaijan — the next host country of the world championships.
The handover of the flag marked a symbolic ceremony dedicated to the holding of the 43rd World Rhythmic Gymnastics Championships in Azerbaijan on September 15–19, 2027.
Both the current World Championships and the 43rd Championships, which will take place in Baku in 2027, will have qualifying significance for the Olympic Games.
At the World Championships in Baku, more gymnasts will have the opportunity to earn Olympic licenses in individual and group exercises. Therefore, the upcoming tournament will become one of the most important stages in the fight for tickets to the Olympic Games.
Thus, Azerbaijan will find itself at the center of attention of world gymnastics, hosting both the World Championships and the most important qualifying stage on the way to the Olympics.
