Gothenburg, Sweden – Aug. 14, 2017 – The FEI has announced a total of 17 complete teams, and riders from 21 nations who are selected to represent their countries at the FEI European Championships, held in Gothenburg, Sweden, August 21-27, 2017. Riders will compete at the Ullevi Stadium in the heart of the  Swedish city when the action gets underway with the Grand Prix on Aug. 22.

The championships take place every two years, and for 40 years between 1965 and 2005, Germany won every team title. In 2007, their domination was overthrown for the first time by The Netherlands at La Mandria, Spain. The Dutch won again at Windsor in 2009 and Patrick van der Meer, Hans Peter Minderhoud, Edward Gal and Diederik van Silfhout stood top of the podium in Aachen in 2015, where Great Britain took silver and the hosts had to settle for bronze.
