Debrecen will host the most important Hungarian university multisport event of the year between April 28 and May 1. At the finals of the Hungarian University-College National Championship, more than 600 athletes fight for victory in an unforgettable festival.
The outstanding event is organized by the Hungarian University-University Sports Association (MEFS), the University of Debrecen, the city of Debrecen and DEAC. At the event, which starts in just over two weeks, the audience can cheer on their favorites in the finals of eight sports.
– It gives us great pleasure to be able to host such a significant multi-sport event, as this event is an excellent opportunity to promote university sports and increase its professional value. More than 600 students are expected to come to Cívisváros to fight for the championship title of their sport at a festival accompanied by colorful programs and scientific conferences – emphasized László Balogh, director of the DE Sports Science Coordination Institute.
The finals of futsal, basketball, chess, frisbee, cheerleaders, water polo, tennis and athletics are organized at the MEFOB Festival. Competitors and the audience will even be able to walk from one venue to another, as all events are hosted by Nagyerdő: the DESOK, the Oláh Gábor Street sports hall, the Debrecen Sports Center, and the DEAC sports campus. In addition to the scientific programs, the four-day sports event will also be accompanied by concerts by popular domestic performers in the Nagyerdei Water Tower.
– In terms of complexity and size, the MEFOB Festival will be an excellent test event for the summer 3×3 European University Basketball Championship, which will be held in front of the main building of the university, as well as for next year’s European University Games organized in Debrecen and Miskolc – added László Balogh.
