It follows insidethegames exclusively revealing earlier this month how such a meeting would take place as opposition continues to plans to scrap men's double trap, 50 metres rifle prone and 50m pistol events.

They would each be replaced by mixed team competitions in trap, 10m air rifle and 10m air pistol events.

This proposal will be the only agenda item at the EGA, which will take place at the Hilton Park Hotel in Munich on June 25.

“At the ISSF we are 100 per cent committed to operating under the principles of good governance and transparency and so were very willing to call an Extraordinary General Assembly once we had received a sufficient number of requests," Vázquez Raña said in a statement released by the world governing body.

"It is very important that every Member Federation has a voice in our future and we are always ready to listen."

The ISSF have received "more than 25" confirmed requests from member federations to host an EGA to further discuss the proposals. 

But the Mexican maintained that their proposal to the IOC represents "what is best" for the sport. 

"Even as one of the most historic Olympic sports, we have to constantly look to improve," he added.

"We engaged in an extensive two-year study, during which all ISSF stakeholders had the opportunity to contribute, and concluded that replacing three male-only events with three mixed-gender team events would make our sport more appealing to a wider audience. 

"We have already received a great deal of support from our athletes and coaches for the proposed changes. 

"Change is never easy, but as we communicate the benefits more widely at the EGA, and increase awareness and understanding, we are confident that this support will grow even further.”

The EGA represents one of the biggest challenges for Vázquez Raña in his 37 year tenure as ISSF President.

Proposed changes had been approved in February, but have faced simmering opposition since.

In April, the ISSF even accused its own vice-president Luciano Rossi of spreading lies and making a series of "false accusations" with regard to the Tokyo changes.

The ISSF claim to be changing the programme in response to the IOC's call for gender equality as part of their Agenda 2020 reform process. 

Final decisions on new events at Tokyo 2020 are expected to be made by the IOC Executive Board at its meeting in Lausanne on June 9 and 10.
