Abstract

What is FISU?

Since its founding in 1949, The International University Sports Federation (FISU) is the key driver to expand the role and reach of University sport around the world. Based in Lausanne Switzerland FISU is an organisation comparable in structure and reach to the International Olympic Committee.

FISU believes that sports values and sports practice work in perfect synchronicity with one’s university studies. FISU offers opportunity and inspiration to students around the world to play sport. The health wellbeing and experiences that students gain from sport help them become acting members in our global society.

In keeping with this adage, FISU organises world class sports and educational events, all with the mission of providing university students with the opportunities to connect and exchange with students from around the world in a collaborative and competitive environment.
