Fuchs & Guerdat Withdraw from 2025 Longines League of Nations
The 2025 Nations Cup season kicks off on February 15 in Abu Dhabi (UAE) with the first leg of the Longines League of Nations. For the Swiss show jumping team, this marks the beginning of an important year.
For the Longines League of Nations season premiere in Abu Dhabi, Peter van der Waaij has selected Bryan Balsiger (PSG Starlight), Romain Duguet (Hunger Games du Champ du Bois), Edouard Schmitz (Quno), and Janika Sprunger (Orelie) to represent Switzerland.
Martin Fuchs and Steve Guerdat have opted out of the 2025 Longines League of Nations series, citing concerns over the selection of venues, which they feel lack the prestige and spectator engagement of traditional events.
