The first leg of the qualification saw Ireland top the group and they will be keen to impress again.
The Athens CSIO is the first in the Region South with Bulgaria, Greece, Italy and Romania competing in the Longines EEF Series Athens 2022 Nations Cup on Sunday, June 5th (starting at 4 pm). Just like last year, the chef de piste at the Olympic Equestrian Center of Markopoulo will be Italy’s Elio Travagliati, who in 2021 also built the courses for the Longines EEF Series Final 2021 in Warsaw.
