More details about the FCI Agility World Championship 2024 in Belgium

This week it was announced that the 2024 Agility World Championship will take place in Belgium. Now the heads behind the mega event called “Belgium Agility Friends” have announced more details about the planned event. We have gathered all the already known information for you in this post. The biggest Agility event of the year will take place from October 1 to 6, 2024. This is an extra day due to the fourth size class introduced this year than in previous years. The Sentower Park in Opglabbeek will serve as the location.

The modern location should be familiar to many since the latest European Open 2022. At that time, the large main hall and a side hall of the Equestrian Center served as the event site. This hall will now also host the Agility World Championship next year. However, with a small but not insignificant difference. Instead of the sandy floor, which the hall normally has, an Agility grass carpet of the JUTAgrass brand will be laid especially for the tournament. Known from numerous past world championships and many Agility halls.

According to initial ideas, the hall will have a seating capacity of around 3,000. The location on the outskirts of Opglabbeek offers many possibilities that world championships in a city center cannot offer. Among other things, they plan to offer 275 campsites on site, plenty of space for parking and interesting sales stands. Dog welfare is also taken care of with many surrounding natural trails and forests. The obstacles will be provided by Galican. This is the information known at the moment.
