Laura Frendo to Represent Malta at 2026 European Women’s Championship

Malta Racing Club has announced that Laura Frendo will represent Malta at the 2026 European Women’s Championship organised by the European Trotting Amateur-Drivers Federation (FEGAT). The championship will take place at Kincsem Park in Budapest on Friday 8 and Saturday 9 May.

This will mark Malta’s third participation in the prestigious competition, following the strong performances achieved by Cherise Farrugia in the 2023 and 2024 editions. The event will bring together 13 female amateur drivers from across Europe, with competitors representing Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland.

Frendo obtained her driving licence with the Malta Racing Club in 2023 and has already established herself as one of Malta’s leading female drivers. In just four years of competitive racing, she has participated in 110 races, securing seven victories and achieving a further 30 top-four finishes.

The championship is widely recognised not only for its high level of competition, but also for promoting sportsmanship and encouraging greater female participation in trotting. The Malta Racing Club wished Frendo every success ahead of the championship and thanked EquestriMalta for its continued financial support in helping Maltese drivers gain international exposure and experience on the European stage.
