Amsterdam World Cup competition cancelled due to Covid
By Equestrian Life
Covid restrictions are again beginning to cause issues in Europe, with the Amsterdam leg of the World Cup for Jumping and Dressage cancelled in January. It will be the second time the Amsterdam event has been cancelled, as it didn’t run this year either.
It’s now the fourth World Cup leg of the season to be cancelled alongside Stuttgart (Germany, November), Salzburg (Austria, December), and Mechelen (Belgium, December).
The London leg of the World Cup ran last weekend at ExCel, and the next event on the calendar set to run will be Neumünster (Germany) in February, followed by Göteborg (Sweden) also in February, and ‘s-Hertogenbosch (Netherlands) in March. The World Cup Final is at this stage scheduled for Leipzig, Germany in April 2022.
The event organisers for the Amsterdam World Cup, Amsterdam Jumping, said in a statement that the new Covid restrictions meant they had no choice other than to move the event to 2023.
