UniCredit and UniCredit Allianz Assicurazioni are the Main Sponsors of the most inclusive edition of the FISU World University Games Winter ever.

2:00 Min

We celebrate barrier-free sports.

 

UniCredit and UniCredit Allianz Assicurazioni support as main sponsors the FISU World University Games, the largest university sports event in the world.

 

The 2025 edition of the Winter Games, which will bring 2,000 young athletes from over 500 universities in more than 60 countries to Turin, will be the most inclusive yet: for the first time in the event's history, Paralympic athletes will compete in alpine skiing and cross-country skiing. 

UniCredit and UniCredit Allianz Assicurazioni team up for FISU

“We are proud to be, together with our strategic partner UniCredit Allianz Assicurazioni, the Main Sponsor of the Winter World University Games, which will take place across six municipalities in Piedmont. We are excited to witness an event that, for the first time, will also feature Paralympic athletes competing in snow sports. UniCredit aims to promote equity and inclusion, and sport, which is based on these same values, aligns perfectly with our strategic goal of helping clients and communities advance toward a more sustainable, inclusive, and fair society.” 

 

- Annalisa Areni, Head of Client Strategies at UniCredit Italy 

 

Youth, inclusivity, and local engagement are the “disciplines” we aim to excel in, and being the main sponsor of the FISU World University Games Winter means playing on the right team for us. 

 

It means standing alongside the new generation of athletes, including in Paralympic competitions, while keeping the flame of sport alive in Piedmont, Italy, and around the world. 

Flame Relay: the torch returns to Piedmont from November 4th to January 13th 


The World University Games returns to the city where it all began, with a special edition of the Flame of Knowledge relay: starting on November 4th from Turin, the Games’ Torch will travel around the world, retracing the history of the Games before returning to Piedmont with eight stops at universities and academic institutions in Biella, Vercelli, Novara, Alessandria, Asti, Pollenzo, Mondovì, and Cuneo (discover the route and dates). 


On January 13th, we will finally welcome the torch back to Turin along with universities and institutions, but most importantly, with the athletes, to kick off an unprecedented sporting event.
