Congratulations to FEI President Ingmar De Vos on new IOC role

Horse Sport Ireland warmly congratulates Ingmar De Vos, FEI President, on his election to the Executive Board of the International Olympic Committee (IOC).

The election took place on 4 February 2026 during the 145th IOC Session in Milan (ITA), in the lead up to the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games. An IOC Member since 2017, Ingmar De Vos was elected by secret ballot by his fellow IOC Members for a four-year term and will assume his new role following the conclusion of the Session on 22 February 2026.

“FEI President Ingmar De Vos’s election to the International Olympic Committee Executive Board is significant for equestrian sport,” said Horse Sport Ireland Chief Executive Denis Duggan.

“On behalf of the Irish National Federation, Horse Sport Ireland, I have conveyed my congratulations to President De Vos last week on his election to the highest level of Olympic  governance.  This is a testament to President De Vos’ commitment to the Olympic Movement, and most importantly it shows the standing that both he and equestrian sport has within the Olympic family.  We wish him well for his term on the IOC Executive Board.” 

Ingmar De Vos has served as President of the Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI) since 2014 and as President of the Association of Summer Olympic International Federations (ASOIF) since 2025.
