Introduction to International University
Sports Federation - FISU
Founded in 1949, FISU stands for Fédération Internationale du Sport Universitaire
(International University Sports Federation). FISU was formed within university institutions
in order to promote sports values and encourage sports practice in harmony with and
complementary to the university spirit. Promoting sports values means encouraging
friendship, fraternity, fair-play, perseverance, integrity and cooperation amongst
students, who one day may have responsibilities and even key positions in politics, the
economy, culture and industry.
Open to student-athletes aged between 17 and 28, the FISU sporting events are
the Summer and Winter Universiade and the World University Championships. The
Universiades are multisport events staged in odd-numbered years, while the World
University Championships are single-sport events staged in odd-numbered years. Besides
its sporting events, FISU stages educational events, i.e. the FISU Forum, the FISU Summer
and Winter Conferences, the FISU Sport Education Summit and the FISU Seminars.
FISU is composed of 167 Member Associations (National University Sports Federations).
Every four years, the FISU General Assembly elects the members of the FISU Executive
Committee, its board of directors. Sixteen permanent committees advise the Executive
Committee in their specialised areas. For the daily administration of FISU, the FISU
Executive Committee relies on the Secretary General, who is assisted by the FISU staff.
The FISU headquarters is in Lausanne, Switzerland.
