The Swedish Championship week is back in Umeå for the second time.

This time, the city of birches is hosting a summer week.

Umeå has previously arranged the Swedish Championship week in winter 2014. 

June 27-July 2, 2023 is time for the fight for the Swedish Championship gold in Umeå.

Triathlon and climbing are back on the Swedish Championship program, as are tug-of-war and radio battle motorsport.

- The Swedish Championship week should be a bit of a smorgasbord of sports.

Thanks to so many sports applying, we can present a selection of sports for the Swedish Championships week in Umeå with great breadth and something for everyone.

We also have a dialogue with another sport that has applied for a place that can possibly be offered, says Maria Hallberg, project manager for the Swedish Championships week, Riksidrottsförbundet.

- We have landed in a good and exciting mix of sports with local roots.

We will be able to use many of our fine existing arenas such as Nydala, Umeå Energi Arena, Mariehemsängarna and hopefully on the new asphalt track on Ersmarksberget, but above all we will move sports to the center where sports become part of the folk festival, says Dan Vähä, local project manager SM week Umeå 2023.

Sports that want to participate in the Swedish Championship week must apply.

The selection and decision on which sports are offered to participate in the Swedish Championships week is made by the Swedish Sports Confederation and Swedish television together with the host city.
