2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Nordic Country Competition is an exchange between the Nordic agricultural universities. The first Nordic Championship was held in 1947 between Sweden and Norway at Ultuna. Today, 79 years later, it has developed into an event where around 300 students from Sweden, Norway, Finland and Denmark gather each year to participate in sports together over four days. Every four years, each country hosts its own championship. From September 15\u201320, 2026, we will travel to Finland for the 79th championship in history. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
