EUG Zagreb-Rijeka 2016

Throughout 15 days in July 2016, 5000 students from 45 European countries and 250 different universities will compete in 21 different sports and will be part of the most beautiful sports story ever told in Croatia! Zagreb, being of the oldest European cities with a big cultural and sports tradition and Rijeka’s multicultural surroundings and Mediterranean style as well as the hospitality of our people are an ideal invitation to visit Croatia! 

Our inspiration is our tradition. The first student sports club was founded 112 years ago at the University of Zagreb. The Federation of Academic Sports Clubs at the University of Zagreb was founded 92 years ago. Mandatory physical education classes were introduced in Croatian universities 52 years ago. Twenty eight years ago the first University Games, also known as Universiade was organized in Zagreb. The Croatian Academic Sports Federation was founded 22 years ago.
