World University Games

The World University Games, also known as the Universiade, is a global multi-sport event for university students, held every two years. It brings together student-athletes from around the world to compete in various sports, promoting international friendship, cultural exchange, and athletic excellence. Similar to the Olympics, it features many sports including athletics, swimming, and team events. The games serve as a platform for emerging athletes to showcase their talent, often providing a stepping stone to professional and Olympic competition. Organized by the International University Sports Federation (FISU), it emphasizes academic-athletic balance and global unity through sport.
