FEI confirms Division 1 teams

THE allocation of teams to Europe Division 1 events for the Longines FEI Jumping Nations Cup 2022 series were confirmed by the FEI this week.

The 10 teams competing in Division 1 for the 2022 season includes freshly promoted Czech Republic – taking the place of Italy who have been relegated to the EEF Series – alongside defending champions The Netherlands, Belgium, France, Germany, Great Britain, Ireland, Norway, Switzerland and Sweden.

Each team can earn qualifying points at its allocated four of the six Europe Division 1 events. The seven best-ranked teams will qualify for the Final, which takes place in Barcelona (ESP) from September 29th to October 2nd 2022. The Division 1 opening qualifier takes place in St Gallen (SUI) in June 2022. Ireland is set to battle for points at Sopot (POL), Rotterdam (NED), Hickstead (GBR) and at the Dublin Horse Show next August.

The allocations table indicates the venues where eligible teams will be chasing FEI Nations Cup points, but the starting field at these events will not be restricted to those countries alone. Other nations can also compete in legs of the series throughout the Europe Division 1 season.
