World Lacrosse has announced that three upcoming world championships will be conducted in Asia:

• 2025 World Lacrosse Men's U20 World Championship in Korea
• 2026 World Lacrosse Women's Championship in Japan
• 2027 World Lacrosse Men's Championship in Japan

The men's U20 world championship will mark the first time that World Lacrosse has hosted a championship event in Korea. The U.S. won the most recent championship at this level - taking home the gold over Canada in Limerick, Ireland in 2022 with C.J. Kirst earning MVP honors.

Growing up in Denver, Devon Wills never imagined that a sport introduced to her by a childhood friend whose dad owned a sporting goods store would eventually help shape almost every step of her life for the next three decades.

“I feel so lucky that this sport that I picked up because my friend’s dad owned LAX World would turn into my whole life and career,” Wills said. “It was one of those cases of being in the right place at the right time.”

Reflecting on her lacrosse journey in advance of her induction into the National Lacrosse Hall of Fame, Kate Chrest Erbe came to a powerful realization about the role that the game has had in her life.

“I don’t think it’s an overstatement to say that there’s not one part of my life that lacrosse has not touched in some way,” Chrest said. “It just seems to be this thread that’s woven through every aspect of my life.”
