The five-day European Mountain Bike Championships are one of the most prestigious competitions in the international mountain bike racing calendar.

Enrico Della Casa, President of the Union Européenne de Cyclisme says: "The European Mountain Bike Championships have always been a key event in our international calendar, and the 2027 edition will be even more important as it will take place just one year before the Olympic Games in Los Angeles. Thanks to our long-standing agreement with Eurovision, the event will be widely televised, providing a prestigious showcase for the athletes and the entire mountain bike movement. Furthermore, Sweden is an ideal venue for this discipline, having already hosted historic European Mountain Bike Championships in 2016 and successfully staged several editions of the European Youth Mountain Bike Championships. Thanks to the experience and passion of the organizers, we are sure that this new edition will be a great success. A big thank you to CK Master and its chairman Albin Andersson, to Sweden Tourist Board/Göteborg and co with Sara Brankell - Key Account Manager Sports, to the Swedish Cycling Federation, to its president Stefhan Klang, for their continuous and passionate support of our movement and for their commitment to the growth and spread of cycling in all its forms."

Albin Andersson Chairman, CK Master: "We are incredibly proud and honored to host the European Mountain Bike Championships and offer cycling fans across Europe a true festival in Gothenburg. Together with the Swedish Cycling Federation, we hope that the event will not only showcase world-class competition, but also inspire more people - especially young people - to discover the joy of cycling. Thanks to Gothenburg & CO and the Western Sweden Tourist Board as our partners, we look forward to creating an unforgettable week of competition for athletes and spectators alike."

Leif Karlsson, Secretary General of the Swedish Cycling Federation: "Once again we have the opportunity to present Sweden as the host country of a major mountain bike championship. We are looking forward to a true festival of cycling in Gothenburg 2027, where Sweden's mountain bike riders will have the chance to compete in an international championship on home soil. We are grateful for the positive discussions we have had with the Union Européenne de Cyclisme (UEC), Gothenburg & Co and the local organizer CK Master to bring this festival to Sweden."
