Get ready to mark your calendars because the Chengdu 2021 FISU World University Games are just 30 days away!

30 days away until student-athletes from all over the world will meet at the Chengdu 2021 FISU World University Games this summer, to compete, exchange ideas, and experience the unique charm of Sichuan’s capital.

The preparations are now going in even fuller steam, to assure that the participants will have a great and unforgettable experience this summer.
As we are counting down the days until the Chengdu 2021 FISU World University Games, a series of test events featuring different sports have taken place to assess the readiness of the preparations.

Meanwhile, nearly 4,800 Chengdu 2021 FISU Games volunteers were provided with an opportunity to hone their skills and services during the test events. The competencies, preparedness, and familiarity with event procedures demonstrated by volunteers were evaluated through their on-the-field performance. This enabled targeted training or adjustments to be made to improve their skills and enhance the overall event experience.

The first accreditation card for the Chengdu 2021 FISU World University Games was also officially issued on 9 June, marking a significant milestone in the preparations for the sporting event.
Ms Zhou Zhili, the workforce, and volunteer manager at the Dong'an Lake Sports Park Artistic Gymnastics Venue Operation Centre, was among the first to receive the initial batch of cards, marking the moment as exciting and a big highlight.

The Flame Relay of the Chengdu 2021 FISU World University Games has also been traveling to all relevant cities, kicking off at Peking University in Beijing on 10 June following the official launch ceremony. Last week it finally reached Chongqing on 24 June, following earlier stops in Beijing, Harbin, and Shenzhen.

At the ceremony, the Organising Committee of the Chengdu 2021 FISU Games emphasised that the flame relay, a significant official event of the FISU World University Games, serves as an important medium for promoting the ideals and spirit of the Games, and it represents the spectacular prelude to the Chengdu 2021 FISU Games and the dreams of youth worldwide.

A total of 500 volunteer representatives who will serve for the Chengdu 2021 FISU World University Games took an oath at Chengdu University, showing their readiness to play a part in this grand celebration of university sports. These volunteers solemnly pledged their commitment to the Chengdu 2021 FISU Games. With their professionalism, friendliness, and attentive service, they are poised to showcase the hospitality of Chengdu and make friends from around the world feel welcomed.

The Chengdu 2021 FISU Games has recruited over 20,000 volunteers, comprising both general and specialised volunteers in areas such as language, competition, and awards ceremony.

In the beginning of June, the medals of the Chengdu 2021 FISU Games as well as the official logo and mascot were presented on a press conference. The medals, named Rongguang, embody glory and brilliance, representing the aspirations of the young athletes who pursue their dreams in Chengdu. The medals have an irregular circular shape, with geometric fan-shaped elements representing the rays of the sun, conveying the design concept of the Sun and Immortal Birds guarding dreams.

We wish a lot of success to every participant, student-athlete, unforgettable sporting moments and many great experiences on the Chengdu 2021 FISU World University Games.
