Longines Global Champions Tour 2025 is set for a spectacular return to Rabat, Morocco, from 17–19 October 2025, bringing back the magic that captivated fans last year. Under the fading autumn sun and against a backdrop of Moroccan drums, the announcement sparked an eruption of cheers as the world’s finest riders prepare for a thrilling showdown in the penultimate stop of the season.
It wasn’t just a press release; it was a promise of passion, sport, and spectacle. Last year’s debut had already etched Rabat into the hearts of riders and fans alike — a stage where elite show jumping met Moroccan magic. Riders embraced, trainers shed tears, and the crowd roared as global equestrian stars battled it out in an electric atmosphere. Now, with its second consecutive hosting, Rabat is set to become one of the defining battlegrounds of the 2025 season.
Longines Global Champions Tour 2025 Brings Rabat Back to the Spotlight
The Moroccan capital stunned the equestrian world in 2024 with its vibrant energy, sell-out crowds, and flawless organisation. Fans flocked to the arena, waving flags and chanting for their favourites, while riders described the atmosphere as “unlike anywhere else on the planet.”
For 2025, the stakes climb even higher. Rabat now takes its place as the penultimate stop on the 17-event LGCT calendar — the final showdown before Riyadh and the much-anticipated GC Prague Playoffs in November. With championship dreams on the line, the drama in Morocco promises to be unmissable.
Record-Breaking 17 Events on the Longines Global Champions Tour 2025 Calendar
The addition of Rabat means this year’s Longines Global Champions Tour will feature a record 17 events, stretching across iconic destinations including New York, Monaco, Mexico City, Shanghai, and now, once again, the gateway to Africa.
Jan Tops, Founder and President of LGCT, spoke with infectious enthusiasm:
“We are absolutely delighted to return to Rabat. The passion of the Moroccan fans, the excellence of the organisation, and the stunning setting created an atmosphere unlike any other. Bringing the Tour back was an easy choice — Rabat now plays a pivotal role in the 2025 title race.”
Rabat Promises High Stakes Before Riyadh and GC Prague Playoffs
Beyond the thrilling competition, the Rabat stop offers fans a rare chance to witness a fusion of world-class sport and Moroccan heritage. With its rich culture, vibrant traditions, and breathtaking scenery, the event creates an immersive experience that extends beyond the arena.
For riders chasing championship points, the stakes couldn’t be higher. As one of the last chances to climb the leaderboard before Riyadh, every jump, stride, and second in Rabat will count.
