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.
The EUC in Badminton, after its
appearance in Miskolc, Hungary,
in 2023, will change its location
to the capital of Spain, Madrid.
The biggest and greenest city
of Spain offers its inhabitants
and visitors a dynamic blend
of cultural richness, vibrant
nightlife, and diverse cuisine,
providing them a lively and
fulfilling experience. After many
successful hostings of the EUC
in Football in 2019 and Tennis
in 2017, Madrid is ready to take
over the organisation of the
next EUSA Championship. The
championship is planed to be
held from 6 until 12 of July.
From Portugal in 2023, the
EUC in Basketball is moving to
Bologna in Italy. 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, a buzzing
population, and being considered
the gastronomic capital of Italy,
Bologna will be a great host for
the EUC Basketball in 2025.
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 a European
Universities Championship. The
championship will be organised
between 7 and 13 of July.In the summer of 2023, after the
successful European Universities
Championship in football in
Tirana, Albania, in 2025 we are
moving the hosting location to
Camerino, Italy, where the teams
will be hosted by the 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 includes twice-
organized Championships in
Volleyball, in 2008 and 2015 and
one in Table Tennis in 2019.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
will 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. This will be
a debut for both Ankara, Bilkent
and ME Technical University in
hosting EUSA events. They’ll be
putting their organisational skills
to the test as they take on the
role of leaders in coordinating
the European Universities
Championship in Rugby 7s in
2025.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 a European
Universities Championship, for
the very first time.The EUC in Futsal, is not
changing the hosting country butjust the hosting city. From being
organised in Split in 2023, is now
moving into the organizational
hands of the capital of Croatia
and the University of Zagreb.
Zagreb and Croatia in general
have been multiple times hosts
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.From St. Gallen in Switzerland in
2023 to Lodz, Poland, the EUC in
Orienteering will be continuing its
presence on the sports program
of the Championships in 2025.
This third-biggest Polish city
has already hosted many EUSA
events, such as Badminton
and Volleyball in 2019 and the
European Universities Games
in 2022. With their experience
and gained abilities, Lodz and
the Technical University of
Lodz, are more than ready to
assume responsibility for EUC in
Orienteering. The championship
is planned to be held from 24
until the 27 of July.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 2023. However, this
time, with the honour 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 the University
Sports Association in Poznan, will
make a great team and organise
another amazing combat sports
championship from 29 of July to
1 of August.To continue the story of EUC
Table Tennis, with lastly being
organised in Olomouc, Czech
Republic, in 2023, 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 inTurkey 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 will be the second time
Armenia is showing up as a
hosting country for the European
Universities Chess Championship,
after being the organisers in- 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 organising
the European Universities
Championship in Chess, from 16
to 20 of September 2025.
After the great organisation of
the Beach Sports Championships
in 2023, it has been decided
that the hosting city will remain
the same in 2025, as well. The
beaches of Rincon de la Victoria
and Torrox are willing to offer
their 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.There a the chance for more
sports to be added to the
sports program of the 2025
season of European Universities
Championships, such as Rowing
and another edition of the
European Universities Winter
Championships.
