With Ireland topping the rankings, followed by the USA, France, Germany, Switzerland, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden and Brazil, there are no big surprises.
These ten countries have been invited to participate in the inaugural season of the Longines League of Nations™ where the top ten teams of show jumpers will compete in four heats: Abu Dhabi (UAE), Ocala (USA) and St. Gallen (Switzerland). and Rotterdam (NED) for one of the eight places that will start in the Longines League of Nations™ final in Barcelona (ESP).
“The Longines Nations League is about the team, more about collective achievements than any individual performance,” says FEI President Ingmar de Vos. “Being in the top 10 in the Longines Nations League Qualifying Rankings is in itself a great achievement. I congratulate everyone who Contribute to their country’s ranking. Then I mean the riders, owners, grooms, national coaches, support teams, trainers and of course the federations, because this alone is a huge team effort!
We are working closely with the organizers to provide the best platform in 2024 on which to showcase the best sports with the best countries. This is of course partly due to Longines.”
