The 2021 European Eventing Championships will run in Avenches, Switzerland, the FEI has revealed.
The FEI announced the decision today (17 March) along with the allocation of the 2023 championships to Haras du Pin, France. The host venues, along with those for a number of other events, were confirmed at the FEI board’s online meeting yesterday, with the “full support of the FEI eventing committee and the European Equestrian Federation”.
FEI secretary general Sabrina Ibáñez said: “We are pleased to have the Swiss venue of Avenches hosting the 2021 championships.
“Following last year’s postponement of the Tokyo Games, the FEI had originally cancelled European Championships in all three Olympic and Paralympic disciplines so that the focus could remain on the Games in 2021, but our community encouraged us to review that decision and we listened to those voices.
