for more information

the preparation of the delegation
but also in the communication
and all needs that might appear.

We have a team that
consolidates our work daily:
communication, education, and
sporting events. The team that
keeps the agenda active as it is
today.

We would like to share how
2023 came through:

In May, our sports calendar
began with the III FISU AMERICA
CHESS, it taking place from May
4 th to 11th, online. In the third
edition, 8 countries participated:
Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Costa
Rica, El Salvador, Mexico,
the Dominican Republic, and
Venezuela. 168 participants
took part in the event: 74 men,
74 women and 21 teams. It
is important for us that we
can still organize this kind of
championships because it gives
the NUSF’s with a lower budget
the opportunity to participate.

Then, we had our FISU
AMERICA 3X3, which was held
in Chihuahua, Lima, with more
than 100 student-athletes
from all over the continent.
The podium was finalized as
follows: Women, 1st the Instituto
Tecnológico de Monterrey
(Campus Monterrey) – Mexico;

2 nd Instituto Tecnológico de

Monterrey (Campus Toluca)

also Mexico and 3rd Universidad

Nacional de Colombia, from

Colombia. In men, it was as

1 st Universidad Autónoma de

Ciudad Juárez, from Mexico; 2nd

Pontificia Universidad Católica

from Chile; 3rd Universidad

Nilton Lins from Brasil.

Esports are growing

permanently, and since FISU

America has found a way

to unite virtually the entire

continent, 2023 was a record

year in registrations after the

incorporation of the Clash

Royale competition, a new

virtual modality in which

student-athletes from all over

the continent participated,

where men and women

competed jointly. Furthermore,

just like in previous years, the

FIFA tournament was part of our

IDUS celebration.

We also have the FISU –

FISU AMERICA STRATEGIC

DIALOGUE in Joinville, Brazil,

which, of course, was an

opportunity to work towards

future initiatives in the field of

university sports.

In November, Lima held the

FISU AMERICA FUTSAL, with

a high level of performance

and a beautiful atmosphere for

Peruvians and online spectators

to enjoy good games and sports!

2024 is also giving us a lot of

good reason to be happy: we will

celebrate our 3rd FISU AMERICA

GAMES in Cali, Colombia, next

November, along with the FISU

AMERICA CHESS, 3X3, sports,

and FISU AMERICA FORUM that

will happen according to the

calendar all through the year.

On the other side, we are

sure we will receive a lot

of participants from EUSA

because we will have three

world championships on our

continent: Cycling in Costa Rica,

Finswimming in Colombia also

the first edition of the World

University Beach Games will be

held at home, in Brazil.

We look forward to seeing you

all at the next events!

FISU AMERICA ONE

CONTINENT, ONE PASSION.
