The FEI Board has confirmed the events for the 2025 Longines League of Nations™ season, with the Polo Club de Saint-Tropez in Haras de Gassin replacing the traditional Swiss venue in St. Gallen as host to one of the four qualifiers in the series.

St. Gallen was one of four venues that made the cut to host one of this year's qualifiers in the inaugural season of the Longines League of Nations™ and was also named by the FEI as a host during the 2025, 2026 and 2027 seasons, after having also been part of the previous FEI Jumping Nations Cup™-series. However, the third leg of the 2024 Longines League of Nations™ series in St. Gallen – scheduled during the last week of May – had to be cancelled due to adverse weather conditions.

"Following a review of the 2024 season, and due to uncertainty regarding the future plans for the arena, the FEI Board decided that, regrettably, St. Gallen will no longer be part of the Series moving forward," the FEI stated in a press release.

The 2025-season will like last year open in Abu Dhabi, UAE, in February, followed by the qualifier at the World Equestrian Center in Ocala, Florida, in March, before returning to Europe for the next qualifier in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, in June. In September, the fourth and last qualifier will take place at the Polo Club de Saint-Tropez in Haras de Gassin, France.

The Longines League of Nations™ 2025 will see the top ten teams in the world compete against each other. Italy will feature in the Longines League of Nations™ for the first time, replacing Brazil. The other nine nations competing in the 2025-edition of the series will be Ireland, France, USA, Great Britain, Belgium, Switzerland, Netherlands, Sweden and reigning champions Germany.

“The Longines League of Nations lived up to all expectations in its first season. When launching this new Series, we took some bold decisions but the success of the first season demonstrates that fortune favours the brave!” said FEI President Ingmar De Vos in the FEI press release. “The new format proved to be innovative and, time after time, showed the very best of team equestrian sport. Almost every competition, including the amazing final, came down to the last fence. The top sport that was on show is a credit to the commitment of the participating Athletes, Horses, NFs, Grooms and Organisers, all of whom gave 100% to ensure the 2024 Season was a spectacular success. The FEI is also grateful to Longines for their trust and continued support. As we look forward to the 2025 season, we are very excited to welcome a new Qualifier in Saint-Tropez-Gassin and are confident that the Series will continue to grow and showcase all that is excellent about equestrian sport.”
