A total of 13 jumping competitions are to be held, with four included in the world ranking. The most important of them is the Sunday Longines EEF Series Final, in which 11 teams will compete for promotion to the first division of the Nations Cup: Austria, Belgium, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and Poland as the host.

"The Longines EEF Series is not just an event to see horses jumping. It is something that we would like to see as creating a link between different nations as well as an event opening the doors for new talents. For the European Equestrian Federation, it is the most important event of the season," Eleonora Ottaviani, a Member of the Board of the European Equestrian Federation, told Radio Poland's Klaudiusz Madeja ahead of the event’s launch.
