EUROPEAN POWERLIFTING

FEDERATION

EUSA further expanded its list of official partners

after signing a Memorandum of Understanding with

the European Powerlifting Federation (EFP).

The signing of the official
document to confirm the new
partnership took place on
September 22, 2020, in the
presence of President Mr Arnulf
Wahlstrom and Secretary
General Mr Ralph Farquharson
on behalf of EPF, and President
Mr Adam Roczek and Secretary
General Mr Matjaz Pecovnik on
behalf of EUSA.

Some of the main objectives
of the Memorandum of
Understanding between EUSA
and EPF include strengthening
general cooperation and
partnership between the
two organisations; working

together in activities and

projects promoting university

sport in Europe; promoting and

contributing to the development

of competitions in Powerlifting

disciplines among students;

searching for wider synergies

and new opportunities

arising from the cooperation;

encouraging gender equality in

university sport while promoting

sustainability, fair play and

integrity within the sport.

The first joint venture deriving

from the new partnership will be

the organisation and promotion

of the second European Open

University Classic Powerlifting

Cup, taking place in Merignac,

France from August 26-28,

2021. The event will see the
      best student-athletes from
      universities across Europe
      showcasing their strength
      and skills over the three-day
      competition in France.

The Memorandum of

Understanding with EPF

showcases EUSA’s progress

and continued interest in

partnerships and collaborations

in the sporting sphere, with

Powerlifting adding to the wide

range of sports offered in the

EUSA programme.
