Marrakesh plays host to the first stage of the World Cup which takes place across four cities and culminates in the final stage held in Las Vegas in the United States between February 10-12, 2017.. 

The circuit visits Bangkok in Thailand between December 10-11 for the second stage before heading to Nimes in France for the European leg between January 20-22, 2017.

The first stop in North Africa is the only leg of the circuit that will be held not in a permanent indoor facility, but in a temporary tent.

Athletes will be attempting to collect as many ranking points as possible, which they can earn through their final position at each stage.

The top 16 highest-ranked archers on points over the four stages will then compete in the Indoor Archery World Cup Final, held in the evening of the second day of the final event in Las Vegas.

Last year's World Cup was dominated by American archers with three of the four champions hailing from the US. 

Brady Ellison, winner of an Olympic recurve men’s bronze medal at Rio 2016, claimed the men's recurve title last year and will be appearing at the Marrakesh leg for the first time .

His compatriot Khatuna Lorig, meanwhile, took the women's recurve World Cup title.

Completing the US' dominance was Jesse Broadwater in the men's World Cup compound event.

Denmark's Sarah Sonnichsen claimed the women's World Cup compound title.

Other Olympic Games medallists due to compete this weekend include Aida Roman of Mexico, winner of the women's individual Olympic silver at London 2012, and American Vic Wunderle, a team bronze medallist at Sydney 2000. 

Action is due to begin tomorrow with the qualification rounds before the finals take place on Sunday (November 27).
