The Brazilian Equestrian Federation having been unable to find the financial necessary support to organise the 2001 World Cup Dressage Final in Sao Paulo, further to the late withdrawal of the Organising Committee and main sponsor, the Final has been moved to Denmark.

The World Cup Dressage Director and Dressage Committee Chairman, in cooperation with BCM, have studied several offers of replacement by European cities. After careful assessment of all proposals, in consultation with the Secretary General, they have recommended the Executive Board to re-allocate the Final to Vilhelmsborg Castle near Aarhus (DEN) most probably at the same date, i.e. 5-7 April. The Executive Board confirmed the re-allocation today.

It is the first time that Denmark, country with long and rich history of equestrian sports and which contributed to dressage with several famous riders and horses, hosts the Dressage World Cup Final.

Amil, the sponsor of the North and South American World Cup leagues as well of the former Final in São Paulo regrets the cancellation of the Final in Brazil and promised financial support to the Final in Denmark.
