The 2025 World Cup Final in Alexandria is the first World Cup final in history to include the new obstacle discipline, which replaced horse riding in the modern pentathlon following the end of the Paris 2024 Olympics.
Egypt was also the first country to host an official senior-level tournament featuring the obstacle discipline when it hosted the opening round of the World Cup series at the American University in Cairo last February.
