FEI Suspends Equestrian Federation of India Over Governance Crisis
· Sports · Sportstar, Times of India, NDTV Sports
The International Equestrian Federation has suspended the Equestrian Federation of India effective December 1, 2026, due to a prolonged governance crisis. The suspension bars all Indian riders, officials, trainers, and horses from participating in international competitions. This decision follows the dissolution of the federation's executive committee by the Delhi High Court in February 2026 and the subsequent failure to hold fresh elections. The international body stated that the suspension will remain in place until new elections are held and evaluated by the federation.
Why it matters
The suspension effectively halts India's participation in global equestrian events, impacting the careers of professional riders and the country's representation in international sports.
