Jumping Indoor Maastricht forced to postpone to 2022
This year, the organisation of Jumping Indoor Maastricht has again had to decide that it is not responsible to go ahead with JIM, which would take place from 5 to 7 November 2021 in the MECC in Maastricht.“This difficult decision is based on the great uncertainty that still exists regarding the development of the Covid-19 virus. The health, social and financial risks are too high,” said Ward Vleugels, chairman of the JIM Foundation.
This means that the qualification for the FEI Driving World Cup will not take place this year.
Alternative activities
The organisation understands that this is another big disappointment for the (international) equestrian world, the public and the sponsors. To ease the pain of waiting for the JIM 2022 edition, which will be held from 4 to 6 November, a number of surprising alternative activities will be organised for various target groups. These will take place at the end of this year and in the first half of 2022, as far as the circumstances surrounding the Covid-19 virus allow.
For all equestrian fans virtual activities will be organised on the social media channels of Jumping Indoor Maastricht. More content will be announced soon.
Sponsor event
For the main sponsors, an exclusive network event will be organised for which a top speaker will be invited. The effects of Corona, both on the social, economic and health fields, will be discussed during this event.
