The European Universities
Games in Belgrade was set to
be the highlight of the European
university sports calendar, and
is still expected be the second-
largest multisport event ever
organised in Serbia after the
2009 Summer Universiade.


The 5th edition of the European
Universities Games was
planned to involve 21 different
sporting disciplines in the sports
programme. This included
Badminton, Basketball, 3x3
Basketball, Beach Handball,
Beach Volleyball, Chess,
Football, Futsal, Handball, Judo,
Karate, Kickboxing, Orienteering,
Rowing, Rugby 7s, Table Tennis,
Taekwondo, Tennis, Volleyball
and Water Polo. There would


also be a Para Table Tennis
competition for student-athletes
with disabilities, and a Sitting
Volleyball competition as a
demonstrative sport.

Alongside the sport
competitions, the Games would
focus on educational and social
aspects of university sport in
Europe, featuring conferences
and workshops in the topics
Anti-Doping, Inclusion, Dual
Career, as well as a Rectors’
Conference. The legacy of the
Games would be visibly clear as
support from many institutions
from across Europe and the
local community would aid
the development of university
sports and student facilities in
Belgrade.
