Following the recent election of the new Hungarian University Sport Federation President Mr Lajos Mocsai, EUSA President Mr Adam Roczek last week took the time to meet with the new leader online, where a fruitful discussion was held.

Mr Mocsai, who is also the rector of the University of Physical Education (UPE) in Budapest, was voted in as the association’s new president for the next four-year term following the HUSF’s General Assembly in August.

Mr Mocsai and Mr Roczek took time from their schedules to meet online, where the new HUSF president outlined his ambitions and desired programme, as he plans to use his knowledge and experience as the rector of UPE and HUSF president on the one hand, and his capacity as the Co-Chair of the Hungarian Rector’s Conference on the other.

With the Hungarian government viewing sport as a strategic sector, Mr Mocsai has six different fields he intends to develop, and is confident that significant progress in the near future will result in a renaissance in university sports in Hungary.

EUSA President Mr Roczek firstly congratulated Mr Mocsai on his appointment, informing him of the exceptional relationship already built with the HUSF during its former leadership, while looking forward to continued good cooperation between the federation and EUSA.

Talks between the two associations are set to continue, especially regarding the seventh edition of the European Universities Games which are scheduled to take place in the Hungarian cities of Miskolc and Debrecen.
