Moscow, Russia – November 19, 2019 – The FEI President welcomed the new members to the final in-person Board meeting of the FEI General Assembly 2019 here in Moscow. After congratulating Jack Huang, Regional Group VIII Chair, who was elected as the new FEI Vice President, Ingmar De Vos welcomed two new Board members, Marina Sechina, the newly elected Chair of FEI Regional Group III, and Sami Al Duhami (KSA), the new Chair of FEI Regional Group VII, who was unable to attend the General Assembly.

The Board then made the final decisions of the FEI General Assembly 2019.

Nayla Stössel (SUI), who was elected to the FEI Nominations Committee during today’s General Assembly, was elected as Chair of the Committee by the FEI Board.

The Board approved Rules for the 2020  Longines FEI Jumping Nations Cup™ Rules and the EEF Jumping Nations Cup Series and Rules 2020. Final approval of the 2020 Global Champions League Rules was postponed until the Board has further clarification in a number of areas.

As the rules for qualification to the Youth Olympic Games 2022 in Dakar (SEN) need to be adapted, a proposal will be put forward to the Board in December and then forwarded to the IOC for approval. Similarly, a decision on rescheduling the Pan-American Endurance Championships, which were due to be held in Chile but were postponed due to civil unrest in the country, and allocation of the 2022 FEI Endurance and Reining World Championships , will be taken at the FEI Board’s teleconference next month.
