EUROPEAN

UNIVERSITIES GAMES

BELGRADE, SERBIA

Initially scheduled to take place in 2020, the European Universities

Games in Belgrade, Serbia were postponed to the summer of

2021, yet due to the ongoing global pandemic, a decision was

then taken to further postpone the event to a later date.

EUSA, the Local Organising

Committee, together with the

Serbian government, explored

the option of hosting the

competition in the autumn of

2021, yet taking into account

the unstable situation which

might hinder the Games being

organised under the traditionally

cultural and social atmosphere

associated with EUSA events,

a decision was made not to

have the event in 2021. The

decision takes into account the

best interests of all concerned,

keeping the safety and well-

being of the participants,

officials, volunteers as well as

the hosting country citizens as

a priority.

All parties remain fully

committed to additionally

explore the possibilities of

having the event staged in its

rightful and enjoyable manner at

a later time.

Co-funded by the

Erasmus+ Programme
