The International University Sports Federation (FISU; French: Fédération internationale du sport universitaire) is responsible for the organization and governance of worldwide sports competitions for student-athletes between the ages of 17 and 25. It was founded in 1949[1] as the world governing body of national university sports organizations and currently has 165[2] member associations (National University Sport Federations) from five continents. Between 1949 and 2011, it was based in Brussels (Belgium); it was relocated to Lausanne (Switzerland) since 2011.
The FISU stages its events every two years. They currently include three World University Games (beach,summer and winter) and 34[3] World University Championships. It also organizes conferences, forums and seminars to promote sport as a component of the educational system.[4] FISU sanctions other competitions open to university students, such as the biennial World University Bridge Championships in contract bridge, "played under the auspices of the FISU".[5]
