The stunning terrains of Northern Savonia will serve as the stage for the World Orienteering Championships 2025 (WOC2025), which will be held from July 7th to 12th, 2025. Tahko will act as the event village throughout the week, providing the setting for the opening ceremony and medal celebrations.

Participants from approximately 50 different countries are expected to compete. Including teams, support staff, and family members, the event will have a significant presence throughout the Northern Savonia region – even before the official competition week begins.

During the WOC2025 week, the international Fin5 Orienteering Week (WOC Tour2025) will also take place. The event will be held in the same competition centers and terrains as WOC2025. Nearly 3000 orienteers of all ages participate in the five events of the orienteering weeks.

The competition venues are located in Tahko's center and Nilsiä's urban area, with the main finals held in Kuopio's Neulamäki and Puijo sports stadium.
