GREETINGS FROM GOTEBORG! IT'S TIME TO GET ACCREDITED......

With the 2007/2008 Rolex FEI World Cupâ„¢ Jumping leagues now well underway it is time to plan your trip to the Final in Gothenburg, Sweden next April.

The Western European League is already one-quarter completed, with four thrilling rounds setting the tone and promising another fantastic finale.

Gothenburg is sending out a very special "Welcome Back" to the media and to all show jumping supporters, as this was the city where the very first World Cup Final was staged back in 1979. The atmosphere of the world-famous Scandinavium Arena is quite unique, and from 24 to 27 April 2008 Swedish fans and visitors from all around the world will be gathering for the great event.
