Baku to host 2027 Rhythmic Gymnastics World Championships

The 43rd Rhythmic Gymnastics World Championships will be held in Baku from September 15 to 19, 2027.

The hosting rights were symbolically handed over to Azerbaijan during the closing ceremony of the 42nd World Championships in Frankfurt, when the championship flag was passed from the German delegation to World Gymnastics and then to representatives of Azerbaijan.

The 2027 World Championships will have Olympic qualification significance, with gymnasts set to compete for additional qualification spots in both individual and group events.

The tournament is expected to be one of the key stages in the qualification process for the Olympic Games, placing Azerbaijan at the center of international rhythmic gymnastics next year.
