The FEl explained in a press release that the decision to cancel "(...) follows the delayed renewal of the Event of Exceptional Public Interest (AEIP) designation, a government-supported framework that has for nearly a decade provided valuable support for the event's organisation and funding."

"While we regret not being able to stage the 2025 edition, our focus remains firmly on the future of Madrid Horse Week," president of the organising committee Daniel Entrecanales said in the press release from FEI. "Over the past ten years, the event has delivered significant sporting, cultural, social and economic benefits to the city of Madrid.

With the continued support of our institutional partners, sponsors and the equestrian community, we are confident about the editions to come." "This pause gives us the opportunity to plan ahead, return stronger with fresh ideas, and bring our trademark enthusiasm to future editions. We look forward to sharing positive news soon."

"Madrid Horse Week is an important fixture on the international calendar, and while its cancellation in 2025 is disappointing for all involved, especially the organiser and the athletes, we recognise the Organising Committee's commitment to the long-term future of the event," FEI Secretary General Sabrina Ibáñez said in the press release. "The Spanish Equestrian Federation and local institutions have also emphasised the importance of maintaining the FEl World Cup™️
