The FEI Driving Committee, together with the FEI Solidarity and the FEI Driving Department, are pleased to inform you of the introduction of the FEI Driving World Challenge effective as of 1 February 2023.
The aim of the FEI World Challenge series is to offer athletes who, under normal circumstances, cannot take part in international competitions due to various factors (such as travel cost and distances for example), the opportunity to compete internationally without having to leave their own country. These "hybrid" competitions are meant as a bridge between the National and the first International level of competition, and aim to help NFs develop the various disciplines in their country. FEI World Challenges already exist in Jumping, Dressage, Eventing, Vaulting and Para Dressage and we are pleased to now introduce them for Driving.
The FEI Driving World Challenge is launched in 2023 as a pilot phase, and applications for NFs wishing to organise an event are now open.
The Rules can be found under the FEI Driving Rules and the supporting documents are available on the FEI Driving World Challenge hub.
