Everybody is all-in!
This is our vision for the festival programme of the Rhine-Ruhr 2025 FISU World University Games Summer. We want to bring people together, create spaces for inspiring encounters, and showcase the diversity of the Rhine-Ruhr region. The festival offers individuals and groups, clubs and associations, and schools, colleges and universities a unique stage to share their passion for sport, culture and science with an international audience.
