The Anthem Originates from Münster
The world's top university athletes are gearing up for an exciting competition in the FISU World University Games, an international multi-sport event for students aged 25 and under. Organized by the Fédération Internationale du Sport Universitaire (FISU), this event, often referred to as the "Olympics for university athletes," has been held every two years since 1959[1][3].
In 2022, the Rhine-Ruhr region in Germany will host the Games, with over 9,200 athletes from more than 150 countries participating[1][3]. The specific cities involved in the event are Bochum, Duisburg, Essen, Mülheim an der Ruhr, Hagen, and Berlin[2]. The competition will take place from July 16 to 27, 2022[2].
The FISU World University Games was previously known as the Universiade from 1959 to 2020[1]. The official anthem of the event originates from Münster, Germany[2]. The event follows a ceremonial format similar to other international multi-sport events, which often include playing the organization's hymn during the opening and closing ceremonies[2].
The Rhine-Ruhr 2025 event is expected to be a significant international gathering, with multiple cities potentially involved in hosting different sports disciplines[1][3]. However, the specific dates for the 2025 event are not the same as those mentioned for the 2022 event (July 16 to 27, 2023). It is worth noting that the 2023 Summer Universiade took place in Chengdu, China, but specific details about the cities involved in that event are not provided in the search results.
