Last year's World Cup final in jumping and dressage in Las Vegas was canceled due to the pandemic and whether the fate of the 2021 edition in Gothenburg is the same has been a big question mark.
Not least after both Bordeaux and Mechelen canceled their World Cup qualifiers in December and February due to the pandemic.
Prior to that, ten organizers had already dropped out of the jumping competition calendar for the same reason.
FEI enters with million support
What the infection situation looks like at Easter can of course play a role, but apart from that, the municipal Got event also had problems with the financing of this year's edition.
A problem that the International Equestrian Federation (FEI) has now solved - with multi-million sums.
- It shows how important the World Cup is for equestrian sports.
Last year's final had to be canceled and there has been nothing now during the winter.
I think the union wants to avoid canceling two years in a row.
In addition, our competition is important as a competition for the Olympics in Tokyo, says Lotta Nibell to Göteborgs-Posten.
If everything goes as planned, the competitions will take place between March 31 and April 3 this spring.
