International Equestrian Federation Suspends Indian Federation Over Governance Issues
The International Equestrian Federation (FEI) has suspended the Equestrian Federation of India (EFI) effective December 1 due to a prolonged governance crisis. This suspension bars Indian riders, officials, trainers, and horses from international competitions until EFI resolves leadership issues and holds fresh elections. The FEI cited the Delhi High Court's February dissolution of EFI's executive committee and the absence of new elections as key reasons. The suspension will remain until the FEI completes its evaluation following expected elections by January 31, 2027.
