The Fédération Internationale du Sport Universitaire (FISU) celebrated its 75th anniversary on June 1. Founded in 1949 in Zurich, Switzerland, the organization has been the main driver in expanding the role and reach of university sports globally. It was in that spirit that it was born and with that spirit it continues.
For these 75 years, FISU has organized high-quality sporting and educational events, offering opportunities for students from around the world to connect and compete in a collaborative and competitive environment. The organization has also developed programs such as the FISU Healthy Campus, designed to create an international standard for physical and mental health on university campuses.
FISU’s mission is to provide students with opportunities to develop skills and values through sport, allowing them to become active members in global society. The organization also focuses on education and culture, celebrating excellence in mind and body.
On this anniversary, FISU is committed to continuing to advance the collegiate sports movement and maintain its commitment to students and the global community.
