The 2020-edition of Fieracavalli Verona in Italy – host to one of the qualifiers in the Longines FEI World Cup Western European League – has been cancelled. 

"The Prime Minister’s Decree issued on Sunday October 25th to address the health emergency linked to Covid-19, establishes that all national and international fairs in the country must be cancelled until November 24th, 2020. The previous Decree had already forbidden regional and local conferences and large meetings. Veronafiere has therefore announced the cancellation of Fieracavalli’s 122nd edition, planned for November 5th-8th and November 13th-15th," reads a press release from the organisers.

Traditionally the highlight during the winter season in Europe, the Longines FEI World Cup Western European League has been cut down dramatically over the last months due to the Covid-19 pandemic – after the cancellation of the CSI4*-W show Verona, only four legs currently remain in the calendar for 2020/2021.
