These nominations will be used for pilot selection during the invitation process as outlined in the FAI Ballooning Commission Sporting Code.
Nomination Deadline: 31/01/2025
Medal Holders
The medal holders are the 1st, 2nd and 3rd places from the 22nd FAI European Hot Air Balloon Championship 2021 (Szeged, Hungary, 2021) and will each receive an invitation. If any of these competitors cannot compete they cannot be replaced by another pilot from their country. The organizer of the championship is entitled to nominate one competitor as a wild card. This nomination is treated similarly to that of a medal holder.
1st Round Nominations
These pilots will each receive an invitation during the 1st round of invitations. (As outlined in the FAI Ballooning Commission Sporting Code)
2nd Round Nominations
Pilots in this list MAY qualify for the 2nd round of invitations provided their NAC has responded within the time limits and have taken up all their initial invitations.
