At the event, 10,000 athletes from 170 countries will compete against each other over 12 days, showcasing their athletic prowess in 18 different sports disciplines, including basketball, fencing, and judo.

For this, around 12,000 enthusiastic volunteers are also needed to assist in approximately 50 different areas of operation during the event. In the sports domain, volunteers will gain fascinating insights into various sports disciplines. In communication, they will collaborate with media representatives from around the world, while in the culture and side events sector, volunteers will contribute to the cultural program.

Volunteers will gain life experiences, forge international friendships, and receive exciting benefits for their efforts. Without volunteers, such a large-scale event would not be possible.

Interested individuals can register on the website of the Rhine-Ruhr FISU World University Games 2025. Additionally, the organizers of the Rhine-Ruhr 2025 University Games are giving away merchandise packages. To participate, individuals should enter the option "University Sports" in the field "How did you hear about our volunteer program" during registration by June 30, 2024. The University Sports Center of RWTH Aachen is not associated with the giveaway.
