From September 20th to 30th UVsports has scheduled a series of activities open to the university community and all citizens to commemorate both events. If you like sport, come to the campuses of Blasco Ibáñez or Tarongers and participate in this festival of university sport!
The International University Sports Day, promoted by FISU (International University Sports Federation) and proclaimed by UNESCO, is celebrated all over the world on September 20th. This date coincides with the European Week of Sport, an initiative of the European Commission to combat sedentary lifestyles, which is celebrated between September 23 and 30 simultaneously in all EU member states.
The Universitat de València wanted to join this initiative and commemorate such an important event for sport in Europe and worldwide. Therefore, UVsports has organized a special program that will take place in the campuses of Blasco Ibáñez and Tarongers with exhibitions of multiple sports disciplines and activities in which all attendees can participate without prior registration.
Hip hop, spinning, wheelchair tennis, kendo, sevillanas, self-defence... the range of physical and sporting activities that you will be able to practice throughout the week is very complete and inclusive. Come to the Blasco Ibáñez or Tarongers campuses, choose the activity that suits your abilities, motivations, interests and availability and try it for free.
The university community, and all citizens who come to the university facilities, can participate in this celebration of university sport, discover over 80 sports offered by the Universitat de València, learn first-hand about the UVsports schools and sports activities, as well as spend a fun day with sport as the protagonist and enjoy the matches of the University Super Cup.
On the occasion of the International University Sports Day, we celebrate the Super Cup of the Universitat de València, which is disputed between the winning team of the Internal Championship and the champion of the Rectora Trophy in the sports modalities of mixed Volleyball, Men's Futsal and mixed Basketball.
You can also take advantage of this opportunity to find out about university competitions, watch the university team training sessions or play a match in the team sport of your choice (handball, basketball, volleyball, football, futsal or rugby 7-a-side).
This is an unbeatable opportunity to come into contact with the university sports team and experience what it's like to be coached by top coaches and, of course, to exercise while having fun!
DON'T MISS IT! ENJOY THE SPORT AT THE UNIVERSITAT DE VALÈNCIA!
