Eduardo Menezes Supreme in the Traxion Trophy CSI 2*

Mexico City, Mexico – April 16, 2026 – The world’s most prestigious equestrian circuit, the Longines Global Champions Tour (LGCT) —widely regarded as the “Formula 1 of show jumping”—has arrived in Mexico City. Founded in 2006 by Dutch Olympic rider Jan Tops, the championship brings together the international elite of show jumping in iconic destinations such as Paris, Miami, London, Prague, Doha, Shanghai, and Cairo, among others.

Since 2016, Mexico’s capital has established itself as one of the tour’s favorite venues, thanks not only to its rich culture and vibrant atmosphere, but also to the passion of its spectators. It is also the only stop in Latin America, making it a key fixture on the international calendar.
