Universiade
The Universiade - also the world sports games for students - is an international multisport event that has been held every two years since 1959 and is organized by the Fédération Internationale du Sport Universitaire (FISU). Alternating with the sport-specific student world championships in even years, the Universiades are held in uneven years. The word Universiade is a combination ( suitcase word ) of university and Olympiad .
Similar to the Olympic Games , the Universiade is held in winter and summer. With around 13,000 participants from 141 nations (as of 2017), the Summer Universiade is the second largest multisport event in the world after the Summer Olympics.

Sports represented at the Summer Universiade are: athletics , basketball , fencing , soccer , gymnastics , rhythmic gymnastics , swimming , diving , water polo , tennis , table tennis , judo and volleyball . For the 2017 Summer Universiade, the list of mandatory sports will be expanded to include Taekwondo and, in 2019, archery . In addition to these compulsory sports, the respective organizer can optionally include three other sports from the FISU sports canon.

Forerunner events before 1959
As early as 1910, there were precursor events to the Universiade, often referred to as the Student World Games in German-speaking countries . From 1939 onwards, these were mostly divided into two parts for political reasons. The organizing international umbrella organizations were
- CIE ( Confédération internationale des étudiants ), founded in 1919, dissolved in 1940.
- IUS ( International Union of Students ), French UIE (L'Union Internationale des Étudiants), founded in Prague in 1946, from 1949 only " Eastern Bloc ".
- FISU ( Fédération Internationale du Sport Universitaire ), founded in 1949, only from 1957 with " Eastern Bloc ", 1957 still without the GDR.
In the following, all forerunner events before 1959 are listed that were organized by one of the three umbrella organizations mentioned or are mentioned on the adh website . (en) = Link to the event on the English Wikipedia
