Students, postgraduate students and graduates of the two years preceding the Universiade between the ages of 17 and 28 are eligible to participate.
The 2027 Winter Universiade has not yet been finalized. The organizer is FISU, and the host city will be selected later. It is expected that the games will once again bring together more than 1,400 athletes from dozens of countries.

The 2027 Summer Universiade will be held from July 16 to 27, 2027 in Chuncheon, South Korea. This large-scale sporting event will once again bring together the best student-athletes from all over the world and will become an important platform for discovering new stars of world sports. The World Student Games not only identify young talents, but also promote friendship and cooperation between countries. The tournament highlights the importance of sport as a tool for unity and cultural exchange.
The Universiade program will include competitions in 18 sports:
The first international competition among students took place in 1905.
In 1919, Jean Petitjean created the Confederation of Students.
The first World University Games were held in Paris in 1923.
Until 1939, all World University Games were held in Europe.
In 1947, the first games organised by FISU, University Sports Weeks, took place in Paris.
The venue of the 2029 World Student Games has not yet been announced. The International University Sports Federation (FISU) plans to select the host cities for the summer and winter Universiades in the coming years.
