Östersund has since 1999 arranged several championships in curling, including the WC in mixed doubles 2018.

It was thought that Russia would be the organizer of the European Championships 2023, but due to the country's invasion of Ukraine, they were deprived of the championship.

Now SVT Sport experiences that Östersund is awarded the tournament instead.

The news is expected to be official soon.

Team Edin will represent Sweden on the men's side.

On the women's side, team Hasselborg and team Wranå / Panthera make it to a European Championship qualifier where the winner then gets to wear the blue and yellow uniform in the championship.

The competitions are broadcast live on SVT.
