The Board had previously confirmed that the FEI Driving World Cup™ Final 2023 will be held in Bordeaux (FRA) from 2 to 5 February 2023.
The Board confirmed the locations and dates for the FEI Jumping Nations Cup™ Youth 2022 and the FEI Jumping Ponies’ Trophy 2022.
Three Championships were added to the 2022 calendar.

“The FEI Series and Championships are important to the growth and development of equestrian sport and it is encouraging to see a full calendar for next year,” FEI Secretary General Sabrina Ibáñez said.
“It is particularly encouraging to see our Youth Jumping series go from strength to strength. We know that these series play such an important role in the development of our young Jumping athletes and give them invaluable exposure to the environment of top shows.
