With a very experienced team of organisers and volunteers, Braga hopes to offer the participants the best World University Futsal Championship ever and will also be watching closely the World University Chess Championship organised by the University of Minho in Guimaraes (20km away from Braga) at the same time, transforming Portugal into a center for International University Sports competitions in the weeks to come.
