Dubai, United Arab Emirates – 28 October 2025 – The Emirates Equestrian Centre is set to host the fourth edition of the Virtus CSI2* Show Jumping Spectacular from 7–9 November 2025, bringing together world-class sport, community spirit, and a vibrant social atmosphere for one unforgettable weekend.

Presented by Longines, this year’s event brings together a distinguished line-up of partners from household names including Yas Marina Circuit and du, to leading UAE equestrian teams KAR Sport Horses and DXB Horses. They’re joined by EMEA Power, Horse & Houses, and ClipMyHorse.TV, reinforcing Virtus’s status as a highlight of the UAE’s sporting calendar.

Across three thrilling days, spectators can look forward to 12 international classes ranging from 110cm to 145cm, with riders competing for a prize fund of nearly AED 350,000. The competition will build from Friday’s Special Two Phase and Speed Class through to Saturday’s technical jump-offs, before culminating on Sunday evening with the Grand Prix presented by Longines, the event’s finale from 06:00 pm.
Whilst the lineup of riders is yet to be announced, fans can expect to see members of the UAE’s Olympic show jumping team take to the main arena alongside a strong field of international riders, as Virtus, the only CSI competition in Dubai this season, continues to draw elite equestrian talent from around the world.
Adding to the weekend’s excitement, Z7 Showhorses will take centre stage with a dazzling display of horsemanship under the lights of the main arena, performing ahead of Sunday’s Grand Prix to set the tone for an unforgettable finale. Beyond the sport, the Virtus Village promises an exceptional visitor experience, featuring a curated selection of boutique retail outlets and a diverse F&B line-up including Lara, Hoof, Mother of Goose, and Burger Wings. The popular dog adoption drive also returns on Saturday and Sunday — a much-loved feature that perfectly captures the community spirit of Virtus.

“Virtus has grown year after year thanks to the incredible support of our partners, riders, and the wider equestrian community,” said Silvia Sem, Founder of Virtus. “Our goal has always been to create an event that celebrates the sport we love while offering an inclusive, family-friendly experience that truly represents the spirit of Dubai. The 2025 edition promises even more energy, excitement, and entertainment for everyone involved.”
