On January 25, 2026, the Accor Arena in Paris will host the ninth edition of the Meeting de Paris Indoor, one of the most anticipated events on the World Athletics Indoor Tour. The event, organized by the Fédération Française d’Athlétisme, will bring some of the best international specialists to the French capital in a compact and spectacular format, where speed, technique, and power are concentrated in just over two hours of competition. The program includes the classic indoor disciplines: 60-meter dash, 60-meter hurdles, long jump, and pole vault, for both men and women. The format remains the same as that which has made past editions so successful, with a fast pace, lights, music, and spectators just meters from the athletes. In recent years, the Meeting de Paris Indoor has seen some of the world's top athletes. Among them is Armand Duplantis, the Swedish pole vault phenomenon, who cleared the 6-meter mark with his usual ease in 2023; Grant Holloway, an American 60-meter hurdles specialist and world champion; France's Cyréna Samba-Mayela, a World Indoor gold medalist in the same distance; and Olympic champion Ivana Vuleta, a star long jumper. Other memorable moments included Hugues-Fabrice Zango in the triple jump and Pascal Martinot-Lagarde, a local favorite in the hurdles. The 2026 edition promises to be a new showcase for the French school and an important test for the athletes ahead of the World Indoor Championships in Glasgow and the summer season.
