Dear Participants,

We regret to inform you of an important update regarding the World Championship 2026.
Due to unforeseen circumstances beyond our control, the event will now take place at a new venue.
The original venue, Play Green, is no longer available during this period.

Fortunately, we have secured a suitable alternative in Maribor.
This club has already hosted several national dog sport events, and their experience will help ensure a successful and memorable World Championship.

New Venue for office, opening and closing ceremonies, vet check, IGP, Agility and Obedience disciplines:
Kinološko društvo Maribor
Dajnkova ulica 4, 2000 Maribor

New Venue for Mondioring discipline:
Plintovec 33, 2201 Zgornja Kungota, Slovenia
https://maps.app.goo.gl/a7W2SVY2JHSLtjQVA?g_st=ic

Dates (unchanged): 18–20 September 2026

Please be assured that our host club has worked tremendously hard to ensure the event runs smoothly for all participants. This was not a decision made lightly, and we sincerely appreciate your understanding as we navigate this challenging situation.

We recognize this change may affect your travel or logistical plans, and we are grateful for your flexibility and continued support.

Should you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact the Organizing Committee at [email protected]

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
We look forward to welcoming you at the new location!
