Cinegetic+SCI 2025: Passion, tradition, and success in an unforgettable edition.
At 3:00 PM on Sunday, March 23rd, the twelfth edition of Cinegética+SCI 2025 closed its doors to the multitude of visitors who, as in all previous editions, faithfully attended their appointment at Hall 12 of Ifema. Neither the wind, rain, nor cold could stop the fair, which is already a benchmark in the industry in Spain and possibly in Europe. The event ended with a new success in terms of both attendance and exhibitors.
After four intense days during which the aisles were witnesses to countless reunions and celebrations among friends, family, and fellow hunters or team members, silence—only broken by the sounds of exhibitors packing up their booths to return to their places of origin—became the only protagonist in Hall 12, which now awaits all lovers of the field and hunting from March 19 to 22, 2026.
The first success to highlight from this edition was the countless attendance—uncounted—of children running through the aisles, enjoying what is already becoming a bright future for our passion. Another impressive result was the overwhelming response from enthusiasts to the fair, which resulted in record-breaking figures across all editions, surpassing all expectations.
The numbers say it all. The 14,400 square meters of exhibition space hosted 297 booths, where exhibitors presented their products to the friends who joined us during the four days of the fair, a 10% increase over the 2024 edition. The satisfaction of the exhibitors was evident, as their booths were filled with visitors, increasing the volume of their business. Thank you to everyone!
The activities throughout the fair also contributed significantly to its development. Notable highlights include the meeting of environment ministers from almost all autonomous communities, united by hunting and the field, the final of the fourth edition of the wild game tapas contest at the Hotel School of the Community of Madrid, Cinegética and SCI, the results of the I Antonio Mata Literary Contest, and more.
From a more recreational perspective, activities such as shooting with air rifles at animal silhouettes and archery, as well as the constant presence of our best hunting companions—the dogs—stood out. The hunting packs paraded through the aisles at the sound of the horn, delighting the hunters and, especially, the young audience. And of course, there was the usual captivating flight of birds of prey.
The Cinegética gala dinner, hosted by the Safari Club International, where the Cinegética 2025 Awards were presented for the best foreign hunting trophies in various categories, was also a major event.
On the communications front, the accreditation of media professionals, both from the sector and general outlets, exceeded all expectations with over a hundred accreditations. Television networks, both regional and national, provided live reports and aired their coverage in their news programs, as did several radio stations that were present throughout the fair.
From the management of Cinegética+SCI and the communications department, we express our sincere thanks to our exhibitors, the thousands of visitors who chose to experience this event with us, and the media professionals who contributed significantly to achieving all our planned objectives.
The Cinegética+SCI 2026 team is already working to open its doors from March 19 to 22, 2026, with the goal of surpassing all the records set during this edition…
Cinegética... Much more than just a fair!
