Kraków will once again become the global hub of sport climbing. The Main Market Square will host the Speed Climbing World Cup — one of the most prestigious events in the discipline.
The event is part of the IFSC World Cup series and is held in cooperation with the City of Kraków and the Małopolska Region, with organization led by i-Sport Agency and Labo Sport.
The world’s top athletes will kick off the competition in Kraków on July 3, including Aleksandra Mirosław and Aleksandra Kałucka, Poland’s Olympic medalists.
Final appearance of Aleksandra Mirosław
“The 2026 season will be my final competitive season… I’d like to invite you to be part of this last chapter. Especially in Kraków, where I will make my final appearance in the World Cup. I invite you to join me for one last dance.”
Where sport meets art
The World Cup in Kraków stands out for its unique setting. It’s a spectacle in the very heart of the city, where the climbing wall becomes part of an artistic performance.
Teatr KTO - masters of outdoor theatre - co-create the opening ceremony, which captivated thousands of spectators in 2025. In 2026, they will once again transform the event into an extraordinary show.
