The second general entry deadline for both the first edition of the European Universities Cycling Championship, as well as this year’s European Universities Games, is set for February 15, with limited spots available for both highly-anticipated competitions.

Featuring prominently on the European university sports calendar for 2021 will be the very first EUSA European Universities Cycling Championship, taking place in Nijmegen, the Netherlands from June 8-13, following which Belgrade, Serbia will host the 5th edition of the European Universities Games, to be held between July 14 and 27.

Four cycling events will make up the EUSA Cycling Championship, including an individual time trial, mountain bike eliminator, mountain bike cross country and a road race, with the ‘Cycling City of the Netherlands’ making Nijmegen the perfect host city for this inaugural championship.



The EUSA Games in Belgrade will involve 21 different sporting disciplines in the sports programme, including Badminton, Basketball, 3x3 Basketball, Beach Handball, Beach Volleyball, Chess, Football, Futsal, Handball, Judo, Karate, Kickboxing, Orienteering, Rowing, Rugby 7s, Table Tennis, Taekwondo, Tennis, Volleyball and Water Polo. There will also be a Para Table Tennis competition for student-athletes with disabilities, and a Sitting Volleyball competition as a demonstrative sport.

This year has begun in earnest for the local organising committees of both events, who are in regular contact with the EUSA Office, with preparations in full swing, several protocols being put in place and the greatest amount of effort being made to ensure the safety and success of both events this summer.



The health of participants at EUSA events are, and will always be, the primary concern, with situation being constantly monitored and measures already being discussed under the guidance of local authorities, should the current global situation still be prevalent at the time of the competitions.

The second registration deadline for both events is February 15, 2021. Following the first general entry deadline last month, there are limited places available, with all interested participants encouraged to register at their earliest convenience in order to secure a spot at each event.
