FISU attributed the 2015 Universiades
On May 23rd, 2009 FISU attributed in Brussels the 2015 Summer and Winter Universiade.
The candidate for the 2015 Winter Universiade was Granada (ESP), while the candidates for the 2015 Summer Universiade were Edmonton (CAN), Gwangju (KOR) and Taipei City (TPE).
During the day, the presentations of the bidding dossiers took place. After deliberation of the Executive Committee, FISU President George E. Killian (USA) announced the winners of the 2015 Universiades: The 27th Winter Universiade has been attributed to Granada, Spain.
‘Granada and the Sierra Nevada is a well known snow sports area', Eduardo Valenzuela, Bid Director said. ‘Thanks to the Winter Universiade we will be able to start developing the ice sports as well. This will make the region a complete winter sport hotbed.'
The 28th Summer Universiade has been attributed to Gwangju, Korea.
‘Many civilians walked 2,015 steps every day in support for the bid while more than 150,000 citizens have volunteered to help promote the bid', Mayor Park said. Our citizens will be ecstatic. We will host the best Games.'
‘I'm happy that FISU has the opportunity to go back to Spain for the Winter Universiade, FISU President Killian said. We've been in Spain twice before and we know they will do a good job. With the choice of a Summer Candidate it was more difficult. We had three excellent candidates who spent a lot of time and energy in preparing their bids. Unfortunately, there can be only one winner.'
