ONLY 100 DAYS TO GO BEFORE THE FEI WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS AACHEN 2026
Press Release/Edited by HT
Goosebump moments, powerful emotions, unforgettable experiences: with this promise, the FEI World Championships Aachen 2026 are approaching fast. From 11 to 23 August, the Allianz Park will be transformed into what is arguably the world's most captivating stage for equestrian sport – a place where athletes surpass themselves, where dreams come true and where spectators become part of something that is difficult to describe in words.
The countdown begins today: in just 100 days’ time history will be written again in Aachen. For 13 days, the Allianz Park will become what it excels at more than any location: a stage for gold, silver, and bronze, for truly great sporting moments and for the special magic that only Aachen conjures up. Six disciplines – showjumping, dressage, eventing, driving, vaulting and para-dressage – will all be taking place in one central location. The best horses, the best riders, the best sport – all staged in the most spectacular atmosphere equestrian sport has to offer. Aachen promises nothing less than this: pure, unforgettable emotions.
An AI video that invites you to dream
For the 100-day countdown, the Aachen-Laurensberger Rennverein (ALRV), has created a special project together with Gravity Digital: an AI-based video that whisks the viewers off to a world where big dreams are commonplace – and sometimes even become a little bit of reality.
Starring: ‘Kiss Me’, Brianne Beerbaum's eleven-year-old gelding. The setting: Aachen's Main Stadium. And what happens there defies all imagination. Jumps, dancing, carriages – and even somersaults. Everything is possible. Everything is a dream. Or perhaps not?
“This AI video is a wonderful preview of what awaits us at the World Equestrian Games in Aachen”, explained ALRV Board Member, Philip Erbers. “On the one hand, it showcases the biggest possible stage for equestrian sport, where riders can fulfil their ultimate dream – winning a World Championship medal in Aachen. On the other hand, it makes it clear that our spectators can participate in this World Championships in a variety of ways: live on-site, of course, but also via diverse digital offerings that place them right in the heart of the action.”
The AI-generated clip has succeeded in creating a visual dream that will make the hearts of the Aachen audience beat faster. The full video is available under here.
The stage is set – the world is invited
“Big dreams need a big stage” – and Aachen has one. In 2026, the Allianz Park will become the meeting place for the world elite, a place where top athletic performances and emotions go hand in hand, where tears of joy, pride and emotion are part of the experience. The joyful anticipation is rising. The horses are already pawing at the ground. The riders are counting down the days. “And we, too, can hardly wait to experience these unforgettable moments together with people from all over the globe,” Erbers commented.
That is when the world of equestrian sport will gather on the biggest stage it knows.
