What will the Games offer?
The Rhine-Ruhr 2025 FISU Games will be about high-class sport and so much more. The five host cities will stage a wide range of concerts, hands-on activities and workshops, relax and chill areas, and scientific, artistic and cultural events. In short: from 16 to 27 July 2025, the Rhine-Ruhr region with the cities of Bochum, Duisburg, Düsseldorf, Essen and Mülheim an der Ruhr will become one big festival site.
