Autonomic University of Yucatan
(UADY).

the official accounts of Facebook
and YouTube of FISU AMERICA
and UADY Sports, with live
commentary accompanying the
matches.


At the conclusion of the
competition, the Mexican
team received the gold medal,
followed by Peru in second and
Cuba in third.


Virtual Forums


In 2020, several virtual forums
were held at a continental level
for the first time to discuss the
current situation and activities
taking place.


This involved a huge amount
of effort in each country, to
coordinate activities and keep
the sports community together
despite the distance and barriers
that the Coronavirus restrictions
instilled.


Through conferences, dialogues,
virtual round tables and more,
university students and sports
experts freely expressed their
opinions and ideas on topics of
their interest, always promoting
solidarity and respect among
the diverse cultures of all
participating countries.

Future plans
In view of the success of last
year, 2021 looks to be a year
of synergy between many
countries on the continent.
Three events have so far been
confirmed to take place in the
second half of the year, including
a Rugby 7s championship in La
Plata, Argentina in September, a
Football tournament in Merida,
Mexico in October as well as a
Futsal event taking place in Sao
Luis, Brazil in November.

It is in difficult times that
we most need the values of
sport, and we must work on
our weaknesses to ensure the
future. We are proud to create
a movement that unites us and
reminds us that we share the
same passion and the same
purpose, no matter where we
are. “FISU America, a continent,
a passion.”
