The Danish bid, backed by the combined efforts of the city's mayor, the national federation's president, and the CEO of Sport Event Denmark, provided a detailed presentation that not only highlighted the city’s readiness but also its commitment to sustainability and innovation in sporting event hosting.

During his visit, Thomas Aubert noted, "Especially Nyborg Castle is a beautiful place and could be a very nice setting for the finals. In relation to the city’s plans for renewing the castle and the interesting story behind it, it could really create a spectacular environment for not just the competition but the whole event around the World Archery Championships.

"It is a strong selling point for Nyborg." He thus emphasized the potential of the city's historical elements and ongoing renovations at the castle to enhance the championship experience for all.

With a history of organizing international events and an offer of a venue that combines historical significance with modern event hosting principles, Denmark’s bid focuses on a responsible and technologically advanced approach to the championships.
