Turin: The Birthplace of the Universiade
Turin, often regarded as the birthplace of the Universiade, has a rich legacy in hosting this prestigious event. The first Universiade was held in Turin in 1959, marking the debut of the summer and winter editions. The city also hosted the 2007 Winter Universiade and the 1970 Summer Universiade, making it the second city in history, after Sofia, Bulgaria, to host both editions of the Games. This year’s event will be the seventh Winter Universiade held in Italy and the 12th overall, counting the summer editions.
A Milestone in Inclusiveness and Sustainability
The 2025 Winter World University Games will be groundbreaking as the first edition to feature para-athletes competing in para-sport events. This initiative is part of FISU’s long-term strategy to promote inclusiveness and social sustainability in sports. By integrating para-sports into the program, the Games underscore a commitment to breaking barriers and creating opportunities for all athletes.
A Celebration of Student-Athlete Excellence
Athletes from universities around the globe will compete in various disciplines, showcasing their skills and sportsmanship. The event will feature traditional winter sports such as skiing, ice hockey, and figure skating, as well as newer additions designed to engage a broader audience. With Turin’s stunning alpine backdrop and world-class venues, the Games promise unforgettable moments for athletes and spectators alike.
