The European Universities Games 2024, a pinnacle of university sports, is set to unfold in the Hungarian cities of Debrecen and Miskolc from July 12th to 24th[^1]. This event marks the most significant university sports event in Hungary since the FISU Summer Universiade in 1965[^1]. The Games are expected to draw a large number of student-athletes from across Europe’s leading universities, who will compete in 17 different sports, including 3×3 basketball, badminton, and beach volleyball, among others[^1].
Under the slogan “More than Games,” the 2024 edition of the European Universities Games is not just about competition; it also offers a platform for educational and social activities, fostering cultural exchange and building lasting connections between universities[^1]. Para table tennis will also feature in the program, ensuring inclusivity for student athletes with disabilities[^1].
Registration for the Games is now open, with national university sport bodies in Europe invited to submit their applications. The European University Sports Association (EUSA), the license-holder of the Games, has set a priority registration deadline of February 1, 2024, with the possibility of extended registration until March 1, 2024, if spots remain available[^1].
The organizing committee, comprising two universities and two cities, is working diligently to ensure that the European Universities Games 2024 will be an unforgettable experience. With state-of-the-art facilities and a vibrant atmosphere, Debrecen and Miskolc are ready to welcome athletes, coaches, and spectators from all over the continent[^1]. Volunteers are also crucial to the success of the Games, offering them a chance to gain professional experience in sports event organization and to explore their passion for sport[^1].
