EUG2026 Press Conference: “3 Months To Go”

On Friday, April 17, at 11:00 AM, the “Giuseppe Verdi” Theatre in Salerno will host the Press Conference “EUG 2026 | 3 months to go”. The meeting marks the official start of the countdown to the 2026 edition of the European Universities Games, the major European sporting event that will enliven the University and the city from July 18 to August 1.

The event, organised by the Promoting Committee composed of UniSA, CUS Salerno and ADISURC, with the support of FederCusi and the Campania Region, will be an opportunity to present the operational details of the event: from the number of expected athletes to the sports disciplines, as well as the map of the sports venues across the campuses and the provincial territory.

Under the slogan “Passion never ends”, UniSA is preparing to become the European capital of sport, promoting the values of inclusion, dialogue and intercultural growth for thousands of university athletes.
