The International Horseball Federation (FIHB) and the International University Sports Federation (FISU) have signed memorandums of understanding (MOU) with the Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI).

The MOUs are based on a mutual commitment to equestrian sport and fostering its growth, and the FEI will increase collaboration with the FIHB and the FISU as part of these new agreements. The two organizations will work in close cooperation with the FEI to enhance best practices and the development of equestrian sport.

Founded in 1999, the FIHB was created to govern the sport of horseball worldwide, and maintain contact with the FEI. Horseball, a mix of "basketball and rugby on horseback," is now played on five continents.

“As the sport of horseball becomes more widely known, the FIHB are delighted to be officially associated with the FEI, which raises our profile worldwide,” said FIHB President Frederico Cannas. “We believe our partnership with the FEI, together with their backup and support, is key to bringing our sport to a higher level
