in the past, the city of Coimbra
will be hosting one new sport,
Padel and one veteran sport
Tennis. On the banks of the river
Mondego, Coimbra is famous
for its University, the oldest in
Portugal and one of the oldest
in Europe, which over time has
shaped its image to become “the
city of students”, making this
city the perfect hosting location
for these two sports. From June
29 – July 5, Coimbra will be
offering days full of sport, youth
and fun.
Meantime in the beginning
of July, we are also going to
be active at the European
Universities Championship in
Volleyball. After the beautiful
city of Braga in Portugal we
are moving to the capital of
Hungary, Budapest. The capital
and the most populous city
of Hungary along with the
University of Physical Education
of Budapest, will offer their
city, venues and will make sure
a great atmosphere will be
following the championship,
from 4 until the 11 of July.
After hosting the European
Universities Championship in
Karate in 2013, Budapest is
looking forward to hosting a
Championship again.
From Portugal in 2023, the EUC
in Basketball is moving to the
neighbouring country of Italy,
in Bologna. Many cities in Italy
have been hosts of different
Championships but this will be
the very first hosting experience
for the capital and largest city
of the Emilia-Romagna region
in Northern Italy. Many student
athletes will travel to Bologna
to play and get a place on the
triumph podium, competing
in one of the oldest sports,
Basketball, from 6 to 13 of July.
Having the oldest university in
the western world, stunning
architecture, buzzing population,
and being considered the
gastronomic capital of Italy,
Bologna will be a great host for
the EUC Basketball in 2025.
After the European Universities
Championship 2023 in Football,
organized in Tirana, Albania, the
next host for this Championship
is Camerino, Italy, where
the teams will be hosted by
University of Camerino. In the
small town in the centre of the
Marche region of central Italy,
the teams will be playing and
chasing victories from 20-27 of
July. This will be the first time
for the city and University of
Camerino to host a European
Universities Championship in
Football, since their history
is with twice organised
Championship in Volleyball, in
2008 and 2015 and one in Table
Tennis in 2019.From Podgorica, Montenegro
the EUC in Handball will travel
to Covilha, Portugal in 2025.
Described as a quite original
example of a “mountain city”,
rare in Portuguese urbanism
with the expression of a vast
industrial tradition based on
modern and contemporary
times, this city sounds like a
great hosting place for the
many handball competitors, not
just to conquer new victories
but to also have a great time
celebrating them. From 22 to
28 of July, Covilha is looking
forward to being a host of
an European Universities
Championship, for the very first
time.The EUC in Futsal, is not
changing the hosting country
but just the hosting city. From
being organised in Split in
2023, is now moving in the
organizational hands of the
capital of Croatia and University
of Zagreb. Zagreb and Croatia in
general are a multiple time host
of EUC throughout the years,
so we believe that again this
city will be an amazing place
where Futsal athletes will have
the opportunity to win another
title, gain new friends and create
new memories. From 23 to 31 of
July, the European Universities
Championship in Futsal will be
in the spotlight.When we are talking about
the great experience with
organizing European Universities
Championships in Zagreb,
we are also talking about the
hosting city of Combat Sports
Championships in 2019 and- However, this time the
honor of being the hosting place
for the athletes competing in
karate, kickboxing, taekwondo
and judo, it belonged to Poznan,
Poland. Having experience with
organizing the EUC Basketball
in 2019, Futsal in 2015,
Rowing in 2013, Basketball in
2010 and Tennis in 2009, we
have no doubts that this city,
together with University Sports
Association Poznan will make
a great team and organise
another amazing combat sports
championship from 29 of July to
1 of Avgust.To continue the story of EUC
Table Tennis, with lastly being
organised in Camerino in 2019,
the honour of having the heat
of the matches, the glory of
the victories and celebration
of the best will this time go in
the hosting hands of the city of
Burdur in Turkey and the Burdur
Mehmet Akif University. From 11
to 16 of September, the athletes
competing in Table Tennis
will be enjoying their time and
fighting for the medals in this
city in southwestern Turkey,
located near the eastern shore
of the beautiful Lake Burdur.
This city together with the
Burdur Mehmet Akif University
will try their organisational skills
for the first time as leaders
in organizing the European
Universities Championship in
Table Tennis in 2025.The European Universities
Champion in Chess, after
skipping its presence on the
program in 2023 and lastly
being organised in Budapest,
Hungary in 2019, is now
continuing its path in Yerevan,
Armenia. This is the first time
Armenia is showing up as a
hosting country in the history of
EUSA championships. Yerevan
as the capital and largest city of
Armenia and one of the world’s
oldest continuously inhabited
cities and the leading hand of
Armenian State University of
Economics are looking forward
to organise the European
Universities Championship
in Chess, from 16 to 20 of
September, 2025.With the great preparations
going on in Malaga, Spain for the
Beach Sports Championships
in 2023, the decision of keeping
the hosting city the same for
the Championship in 2025 hasalso being made. The beaches of
Rincon de la Victoria and Torrox
are willing to offer its beauty,
sand and great weather once
again and to host the athletes
that will be willing to compete
and win champions titles in
Beach Volleyball and Beach
Handball. Foreseen to happen
from 19 to 24 of September,
Malaga is looking forward to
hosting another EUC in Beach
Sports.Proposals for hosting city of
the European Universities
Championship of Rugby 7s
have also been made. With
the hosting location for the
2023 championship being in
Portugal’s hilly, coastal capital
city of Lisbon, in 2025, the
leadership might be in the hands
of the city of Ankara, Turkey, in
partnership with Bilkent and ME
Technical University. The EUC
Rugby 7s in 2025 is foreseen to
take place from 21 to 24 of July.The EUC Water Polo, while in
its preparations for 2023 in
Miskolc, Hungary, has already
got a proposal for a new hosting
location in 2025, being the city
of Vukovar, in Croatia. Vukovar,
a town of around 27 thousand
inhabitants, is located in the
north-east part of Croatia, at
the border with Serbia across
the Danube river, will be the
first time host of an European
Universities Championship. The
dates are not yet confirmed.From St. Gallen in Switzerland
in 2023 to Afyonkarahisar in
Turkey, the EUC in Orienteering
will be continuing its presence
on the sports program of the
Championships in 2025. This
city, as many others in 2025 will
be hosting and organizing the
EUSA Championship, for the
