FEI Certificates of Capability for the Olympic Games are now available for download on the FEI Paris 2024 hub. All NFs qualified to take part at the Olympic Games must send a FEI Certificate of Capability for all Athletes and Horses nominated, to FEI no later than 25 June 2024 23:59 CEST (Swiss time).

Athletes and Horses for which FEI Certificates of Capability have not been received by the FEI within the requested deadline, will not be accepted and not allowed to participate. The FEI Certificate of Capability must include the record of the results obtained in Competitions, satisfying the requirements as laid down for the respective discipline in the FEI Regulations for Equestrian Events at the Olympic Games, Paris 2024, confirming that the Athletes and the Horses have obtained the necessary experience and ability to participate at the required standard.

The passport number of each horse nominated on the FEI Certificate of Capability must be provided as well as its birth date, colour, sex and relevant breeding information.
A registration number for Athletes and Horses must also be provided.

Upon review of the Certificates of Capability, the FEI will inform the respective NOCs/NFs of any Horse/Athlete combinations that have not reached the required minimum eligibility standard.

NFs, intending to enter Dressage Athletes for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, are required to provide the details of all music to be used in the FEI Grand Prix Freestyle test at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games and to ensure that the music is correctly licensed for use.

To facilitate this, the platform ClicknClear has been made available specifically for this purpose. All information on completing the process via the ClicknClear’s system is available here on the FEI Paris 2024 hub.

As this process could take some time, we encourage all NFs to directly inform their Dressage Athletes about this requirement, so that they keep this in mind when preparing their Olympic Dressage routines.

All official licensing for music must be fully completed via ClicknClear by 8 July 2024 at 23:59 local Paris time.
