GCAT Final moves to Aachen for 2026, co-located with the All Nations Cup
Doha, 9 July 2026 – The Global Champions Arabians Tour (GCAT) today confirmed that the 2026 GCAT Final will be staged in Aachen on 26–27 September 2026, alongside the All Nations Cup, and jointly presented as GCAT Final Aachen – All Nations Cup.
The decision follows a strategic calendar adjustment for the 2026 season and brings GCAT’s culminating competitive stage to one of the Arabian horse world’s most historic settings, creating a landmark weekend for the international Arabian horse community.
For more than forty years, the All Nations Cup has brought together nations, breeders, owners, handlers, and enthusiasts in Aachen, one of Europe’s most storied equestrian cities. By aligning the GCAT Final with the All Nations Cup, GCAT will add its international platform and competitive structure to an established tradition, reinforcing Aachen as a leading stage for the 2026 season.
“To bring the GCAT Final to Aachen, alongside the All Nations Cup, reflects GCAT’s commitment to strengthening the international Arabian horse calendar,” said Faleh Al Nasr, Chairman of the Global Champions Arabians Tour. “Aachen holds a special place in our community. For GCAT to stage its Final there in 2026 is both an honour and a strong statement of confidence in the sport, its traditions, and its future.”
GCAT Final Aachen – All Nations Cup will bring together two distinct international events in one setting: the All Nations Cup in its established form, and the final stage of the GCAT competitive season. Each event will retain its own institutional identity, while together they will make Aachen one of the defining international Arabian horse weekends of the 2026 season.
The event follows London, taking place from 14–16 August, and precedes Las Vegas, taking place from 2–4 October, in the 2026 GCAT calendar. The 2026 season will conclude with the WAHC World Arabian Horse Championship Supreme in Paris from 25–27 November, presented separately as one of the sector’s most significant international titles.
Milan remains a valued destination for GCAT, and the platform looks forward to revisiting its place in a future edition of the calendar.
Full event details, registration information, and hospitality access will be released in the coming weeks through www.gcarabianstour.com and GCAT’s official channels.
