The sixth edition of the European Athletics Team Championships will see Russia host the event for the first time in Cheboksary from 20-21 June 2015.
European Athletics is pleased Russia continues to show its commitment to athletics having successfully hosted the 2013 IAAF World Championships in Moscow.
We enjoyed an excellent European Athletics Team Championships in Braunschweig in 2014 and another exceptional event at the Olimpiysky Stadium awaits, with the highest-level conditions for athletes, large crowds, excellent performances and strong television and media coverage.
This year’s battle for the title between Germany and Russia was a fantastic display of athletics at its best, and it will be interesting see how the Russian team responds in front of the home crowd.
Cheboksary is the capital of the Chuvash Republic and one of the most beautiful and green Russian cities situated on the right bank of the Volga river.
The city of Cheboksary holds a great tradition for sports and the government of the Chuvash Republic pays a lot of attention to developing athletics in the region.
