UNIVERSITY SPORTS (FASU)

The year 2020 was an experience no-one expected and

for which no-one could have planned for. However, the

resilience and determination FASU observed across the

global events industry gives hope that in the year 2021,

the organisation will begin its recovery sooner rather than

later as governments endeavor to support businesses and

roll out programmes of vaccinations for their citizens.

Whilst 2020 was a year to

adapt ways of working and

consolidate FASU’s position,

2021 will see the association

launch innovations that were

not possible in 2020. FASU’s

resolve as leaders remains

that of paving a way forward

to adap to the new normal,

even if it requires changing

modus operandi in the pursuit

of strategic goals. Despite

the difficulties, a number of

events were organsied by the

association across a challenging

year.

FASU-FISU-NUSF Seminar

FASU hosted a FASU/FISU/

NUSF Seminar on December

11 and 12, 2020, as the first

step to seeing how events of

the future shall be handled

within FASU under the theme

“Crafting strategy in the face

of uncertainty”. The objective

of the seminar was to forge

a way forward on the best

way to manage university

sports activities as a response

to pandemics and further

bring participants to a better

understanding of the various

operations, aiding the federation

with post COVID-19 regrouping.

Held in a hybrid format, 50

participants from 14 countries
