The two US cities Wellington and Kentucky have both submitted their formal bid applications and questionnaires to host the 2018 World Equestrian Games and now officially join the Canadian bid from Bromont/Montreal. Applicants bidding to host the Games in 2018 had until 15 November 2013 to return signed bid applications and questionnaires and both US cities have met the deadline.
The Bromont/Montreal bid had previously submitted the required documentation and did not need to resubmit.
Candidate cities for the 2018 World Equestrian Games will be announced on 2 December following review of the applicant questionnaires by FEI Headquarters. The deadline for submission of completed and signed Host Agreements is 31 March 2014.
Candidates will present their final bids to the FEI Bureau at its in-person meeting in June 2014. The host city for the 2018 World Equestrian Games will be announced after that meeting.
“We are delighted that we have Wellington, Kentucky and Bromont/Montreal in the bidding process for our flagship event,” FEI Secretary General Ingmar de Vos said. “All three locations have strong equestrian traditions so it will be fascinating to see which of the bid committees produces the most compelling reasons why they should be allocated the Games in 2018. It’s going to be an interesting process.”
