EUROPEAN POWERLIFTING FEDERATION (EPF)

The European Powerlifting Federation and the European University Sports

Association (EUSA) have developed the collaboration with the signage of the

official Memorandum of Understanding, four years ago on September 20, 2020.

Since then, the organizations
have met several times,
discussing and developing
the main objectives of the
Memorandum, including
cooperation, mutual activities
in promoting university sport
in Europe, and developing the
competitions in Powerlifting
disciplines among students.

This Memorandum also aims to
promote and contribute to the
development of Powerlifting
activities and projects among
students, as well as to explore
new opportunities for synergy
and collaboration. The first
joint venture deriving from this
partnership was the organisation
of four editions of the European
Universities Powerlifting Cups,
which have been successfully
organised since 2020.

On January 10, 2024 EUSA
