CHIO Aachen: Mercedes-Benz Nations’ Cup

The organisers of the World Equestrian Festival, CHIO Aachen, and the International Equestrian Federation (FEI) have come to the agreement that the Mercedes-Benz Nations‘ Cup held at the CHIO Aachen will in future no longer form part of the FEI Furusiyya Nations´ Cup. “We have come to this decision due to substantive and financial reasons,” stated Michael Mronz, General Director of the Aachener Reitturnier GmbH, the company responsible for the marketing activities of the CHIO Aachen. “This new situation means that we are now significantly more flexible regarding which teams we invite to participate,” explained Frank Kemperman, Chairman of the Aachen-Laurensberger Rennverein, organisers of the event.

As a result, in future the 'de facto' strongest teams at the given point in time will compete against each other in the traditional Mercedes-Benz Nations’ Cup at the Aachener Soers.
