Chengdu 2021 officially unveils FISU World University Games Village

The Chengdu 2021 International University Sports Federation (FISU) World University Games Village has been officially unveiled at a handover ceremony, marking another key milestone in preparations for the rescheduled event.

Situated at the Chengdu University in China, the Village covers approximately 800,000 square metres and will house athletes during the Games, due to open in less than 200 days’ time.

Work on the complex started in April 2019 and was completed in March 2021, only for FISU’s flagship event to be postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The Village is split into four zones, called "accommodation", "operation", "international" and "transportation".

As well as housing delegations, it is set to provide student-athletes and officials with a variety of other services including catering, shopping and entertainment.

The Chengdu 2021 FISU Summer World University Games are scheduled to take place from June 26 to July 7 in 2022.

The event was initially scheduled for 2021 but was postponed until 2022 due to the Tokyo 2020 Olympics being pushed back by a year due to COVID-19.
