The World InterUniversities Championship sees every year many student-athletes coming from all around the world. Last-year edition took place in Barcelona where there were a total of 2.700 participants. This year, they expect about the same number with many delegations coming from the following countries: Algeria, Belgium, Bulgaria, China, Croatia, Czech Rep., France, Germany, Israel, Italy, Kuwait, Lebanon, Lybia, Lithuania, Nigeria, Russia, Serbia, Sierra Leone, Slovakia, Spain, Swiss, and U.K.

Judging from last-year edition, the level will be very high, but we are sure that our Gladiators will be able to defend our university and our colors with strenght and pride.

Good luck to all of our teams and athletes for this adventure! Make us proud!
