Which city hosted the 48th WorldSkills Competition in September 2026?
- A.Lyon
- B.Shanghai
- C.Kazan
- D.New Delhi
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Shanghai, in China, which hosted the 48th edition of the WorldSkills Competition from 23 to 26 September 2026. The contest drew more than 1,400 young competitors from about 68 countries and regions who competed across 64 skills, and India took part with its largest contingent so far. Option A is wrong because Lyon in France hosted an earlier edition and not this one. Option C is wrong because Kazan in Russia also hosted a previous edition of the competition. Option D is wrong because New Delhi did not host the event; NIFT New Delhi only served as the training centre where the Indian competitor in Fashion Technology prepared for four months before travelling. Learn the edition number along with the host city, since the pairing is a common question.
