PM Modi Hails 'proud Moment' As Goa Is Named Host For FIDE World Cup 2025
Prime Minister Narendra Modi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday welcomed the announcement of Goa as the host city for the FIDE World Cup 2025, describing it as a proud moment for Indian chess and a testament to the sport’s growing popularity in the country.
The World Cup, scheduled from October 30 to November 27, will bring the game’s biggest knockout spectacle to Indian soil for the first time in more than 20 years. However, the event is set to miss the presence of five-time champion Magnus Carlsen, who is unlikely to participate.
India is delighted to be hosting the prestigious FIDE World Cup 2025, and that too after over two decades. Chess is gaining popularity among our youth. I am sure this tournament will witness thrilling matches and showcase the brilliance of top players from around the world,” the Prime Minister posted.
