Read our Update to FEI Olympic Rankings - 5th January 2024 here
The FEI has published the end of year rankings that will form the basis for the Individual Eventing Qualification spots for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
The overall Paris 2024 quota for Eventing of 65 Athlete/Horse Combinations is made up of 16 Teams (48 Athlete/Horse Combinations), which have already been allocated to NOCs (France, Germany, United States of America, New Zealand, Great Britain, Ireland, Sweden, Switzerland, Belgium, the Netherlands, Poland, Canada, Brazil, Australia, Japan, Italy) and 17 Individual Athlete/Horse Combinations
Once the teams have been confirmed (including any required reallocation process in February/March 2024 – see Key Deadlines below), only NOCs that have not accepted a Team quota place will be eligible to obtain Individual quota places, based on the FEI Olympic Ranking for Eventing published on 31st December 2023.
An NOC can qualify for a maximum of two individual places in Eventing (as opposed to just one per NOC in Jumping and Dressage), either through their FEI Olympic Group or through the overall FEI Olympic Ranking, or both.
The nations listed below have qualified one or two individual slots, however, this list of nations may change should any NOCs decline their team slot or not meet the relevant requirements
Individual Rankings
Olympic Ranking - Group A: Denmark (1) and Finland (1)
Olympic Ranking - Group B: Spain (1) and Austria (1)
Olympic Ranking - Group C: Lithuania (1) and Hungary (1)
Olympic Ranking – Groups D & E*: Chile (1), Argentina (1), Ecuador (2)
Olympic Ranking - Group F: South Africa (1) and Morocco (1)
Olympic Ranking - Group G: China (2)

Note: *For FEI Olympic Groups D & E (North America, Central & South America), four (4) quota places are available, however, as there are no Group D individuals to claim an individual quota place (their NOC has a team quota place already), the four (4) best ranked individuals from Group E will obtain them.
