Department updates in Main Jumping

We are pleased to inform you that the FEI Secretary General has approved the FEI Calendar for 2025 for all disciplines. It can be consulted online in the FEI Database.  

Should you have any questions related to the FEI Calendar, please do not hesitate to contact calendar@fei.org.

2025 will mark the qualification period for countries aiming to obtain a quota place for the Youth Olympic Games (YOG) 2026, scheduled to be held in Dakar (SEN).

All National Federations interested in seeking qualification for the YOG 2026 will be required to fill out and provide the corresponding DECLARATION FORM by 1 December 2024. 

Through the Declaration Form, National Federations will have to declare whether they wish to seek qualification for their country through the FEI Jumping World Challenge Competitions 2025, OR their respective Jumping Junior Continental Championship taking place in 2025. 

All National Federations including those from Europe, North and South America may decide on the FEI Jumping World Challenge Qualification Competition as their chosen qualification pathway, however it is not possible to choose BOTH the Challenge and the Junior Continental Championship.

The Declaration Form for the YOG 2026 qualification pathway is available here. The deadline to complete and return the form is 1 December 2024.  

Please note that if you do not yet have all of the information confirmed (definite dates, venue, etc.) you must still send your form within the deadline to take part in the qualification process. Failure to submit the Declaration Form within the deadline, will result in National Federations forfeiting their right to seek qualification for the YOG 2026.  

Please note that the Declaration Form will also serve as the Application Form for the FEI Jumping World Challenge 2025 series, with the same deadline of 1 December 2024. For more information on the FEI Jumping World Challenge series and qualification for the YOG 2026, please consult the FEI Jumping World Challenge hub and/or contact Andreina Wipraechtiger.
