President’s Welcome Message
Dear student-athletes, dear friends,
I am delighted to welcome you to Brasília, for the 2026 FISU World University Championship Combat Sports.
I would like to address you first, dear student-athletes, who are and who always be the beating heart of FISU.
Competing at the World University Championships is a career highlight for many of you. For others, it is a step up to the next level of performance. What you all have in common is your love of sport, your commitment, your fair play and your respect. You come together as rivals, from different places and different backgrounds, but you will almost certainly leave as friends.
Despite the challenging times we are all facing, you remind us of the special power of young people to reassure us that a better world is possible. You remind us of the need to prioritise sport, sustainability, inclusivity and healthy social exchange. FISU firmly believes that university athletes are the role models and future leaders the world needs.
Over the following 4 days, you will compete alongside some of the best student-athletes on the planet. The FISU World University Championships demand skill, athleticism, and single-minded determination to do your best. But beyond the competition, FISU urges you to have fun. May you return home with memories that will last a lifetime!
None of FISU’s events would be possible without the generosity of our hosts. I want to extend our sincere gratitude to the National University Sports Federation of Brazil, the organisers for their dedication and the volunteers for their passion.
FISU is also grateful for the ongoing support of the International Sports Federations. Together, we aim to provide the highest level of technical excellence on and off the field of play.
I am confident that the 2026 FISU World University Championship Combat Sports in Brasília will give you every opportunity to shine, to interact and to grow as people.
I wish you the best of luck!

OC President’s Welcome Message
It is with great joy that we welcome the university sports community to Brasília for the FISU World University Championship Combat Sports 2026. Our city is proud to host this unique event, which brings together athletes and delegations from all over the world in an atmosphere of competition, friendship, and cultural exchange.
As President of the Brazilian University Sports Confederation and the Organizing Committee, I am truly proud to see Brazil’s capital city become the stage for one of the most important university sporting events, bringing together combat sports in their highest expression of talent, discipline, and respect.
This championship represents more than high-level competitions: it is a space for cultural exchange, friendship, and the celebration of the values that unite the university sports movement — ethics, fair play, friendship, and perseverance.
Brasília, a city designed to welcome the world, opens its doors with warmth and energy to provide all participants with an unforgettable experience, both inside and outside the arenas.
I wish all of you success, remarkable performances, and above all, lasting memories from this journey.
