FISU World Games 2025: Regional talents fight for medals!
On July 16, 2025 the time has finally come: The FISU World University Games are starting in the Ruhr area. More than 300 German athletes who study at UA Ruhr universities compete and face the competition in 18 sports with great motivation. What is particularly pleasing is that “Team Studi”, which brings together these talents, is presenting a record number of participants. There are also many athletes among them who have already gained experience at the Olympic Games.
The games take place in several cities, including Duisburg, Essen, Bochum, Mülheim an der Ruhr, Hagen and even Berlin. With a variety of events and a challenging selection of sports, the event is a highlight for the region and the athletes themselves. Rhine Ruhr 2025 reports that the participants include a badminton quartet from the University of Duisburg-Essen and a large rowing group from the Ruhr University Bochum and the TU Dortmund.

The conference not only appeals to athletes, but also attracts students, academic researchers and sports managers. The goal of the event is to develop strategies that not only improve athletic performance but also promote well-being in high-pressure environments.
