Great Britain and USA join Canada in bid to host FEI World Equestrian Games™ 2018
After re-opening the bidding process on 1 July 2013, the FEI has received formal Expressions of Interest from Great Britain, the USA and Canada to host the FEI World Equestrian Games™ 2018.
The USA has identified two potential host cities, Wellington (Florida) and Lexington (Kentucky). Great Britain will have to confirm the proposed host city with the FEI before the 15 November 2013 deadline for receipt of Bid Applicant Questionnaires.
Canada confirmed its initial bid to host the 2018 Games in Bromont/Montreal. The FEI Bureau opted not to allocate the Games to Canada at its July meeting after the Canadian delegation was unable to provide the full public sector financial support required. As a result, the Bureau re-opened the bidding process for 2018, but expressed the hope that Canada would confirm its decision to continue in the bidding process. The Bureau made it clear at the time that any follow-up bid from Canada would be evaluated in the same way as other applicants.The Bid Applicant Questionnaires will be reviewed by the FEI Evaluation Commission at FEI Headquarters before the host city candidates are announced on 2 December 2013.
In the final stage of the bidding process, the candidates will formally present their bids to the FEI Bureau at its spring 2014 meeting, after which the host city for the FEI World Equestrian Games™ 2018 will be announced.
