With the 2026 FEI World Championships at Aachen just a few months away, the FEI has outlined the bidding process bids for the next edition of the World Championships to be held in 2030.
As was the case for the FEI World Championships 2022 and 2026, bids will be accepted from National Federations/Organising Committees who are interested in hosting the FEI World Championships 2030 in one or more FEI disciplines. The FEI World Championships 2030 for Dressage and Para Dressage should remain combined. Bids for the full “FEI World Equestrian Games” comprising all disciplines will also be considered.
The FEI has provided an overview of the process to allow potential bidders to plan accordingly, with Phase 1 being a non-binding Mandatory Expression of Interest in Autumn 2026 (exact deadline to be confirmed) before Phase 2 when Bidding will open in early 2027.
A detailed Bid Guide containing an overview of all the requirements/rights/benefits associated with hosting the FEI World Championships 2030 will be provided and only bids from NFs/Organising Committees, who have previously submitted an Expression of Interest in Phase 1 will be considered in Phase 2.
Phase 3, the Review of Bids will take place from April to June 2027 with the allocation decision to be made at an FEI Board Meeting in June 2027 (or November 2027) and the formal announcement made.
