The Longines Global Champions Tour of Valkenswaard is Not To Be Missed!

This weekend, the Longines Tops International Arena will be the venue for the Longines Global Champions Tour of Valkenswaard. 

This renowned venue has been the home of the Longines Global Champions Tour and GCL since its inception, and each year witnesses another page worthy of the history books. The world's finest horses and riders compete here for individual and team honors, presenting extraordinary sportsmanship year after year.

Full Entertainment Schedule

2023 sees a revamped entertainment schedule, with something on offer for the whole family. Nestled in the place du Concours, each day there is shopping for some retail therapy, face painting and balloon art for the younger generation, coupled with live music and DJ’s on each day of the event – the Longines Global Champions Tour of Valkenswaard is truly an event for all.

5* Sporting Action

The 2023 Championship Race is one not to be missed, with the thirteenth stage in Valkenswaard shaping into a real deciding and crucial event.

In the Individual Championship, the Longines Global Champions Tour, a Dutch duo are currently sitting in first and second place in Maikel Van Der Vleuten & Harrie Smolders. As each event passes, the gap continues to close – could this be the weekend that Smolders takes the lead? Or will Maikel continue his grasp ahead of the Finals in Riyadh? All will be unveiled in the Longines Global Champions Tour Grand Prix of Valkenswaard this Saturday 19 August as the Dutch duo go head-to-head on home turf!

The GCL, the ultimate teams challenge, sees ultra consistent Riesenbeck International powered by Kinglsand Equestrian leading from the front, with Paris Panthers hot on their heels.
