Representatives of the European University Sports Association (EUSA) and the Organising Committee of the European Universities Games Zagreb-Rijeka 2016 (EUG2016) met in Zagreb on March 1, 2016, for a special meeting dedicated to sports and sports-related matters.

EUSA was represented by the Sports Manager Mr Patrik Perosa and Communications & Projects Manager Mr Andrej Pisl. They met with the EUG2016 Sports Department representatives, lead by Mrs Danira Bilic.

All 21 sports to be featured at the Games this July were discussed in details: Badminton, Basketball 3x3, Basketball, Beach Volleyball, Bridge, Chess, Football, Futsal, Golf, Handball, Judo, Karate, Rowing, Rugby 7’s, Sport Climbing, Swimming, Table Tennis, Taekwondo, Tennis, Volleyball and Water Polo.



The participants reviewed the registrations status and reported that there is open space in some sports, so immediate registration is strongly advised. Report on all venues and competition specifics was given by the local sports managers who are also in contact with EUSA Technical delegates. At the meeting also the new dates for Bridge were confirmed: July 18-22.

Competitions will be organised in close cooperation with the national and/or local sports organisations, and in several cases also backed by the European sports governing bodies, so the conditions will enable top competitions.



Representatives of the national university sports organisations will be able to get more information about the venues, sports and all logistics at a special NUSA coordination (Heads of delegations) meeting, which will be organised on May 10 and 11, along with the Supervision Commission visit in Zagreb and Rijeka.
