Starting early March and running until mid-December, the 2014 World University Championships will include a FISU record equalling 29 events in a single year, this time in 24 countries and over the 5 continents (17 Europe, 8 Asia, 2 America, 1 Africa and 1 Oceania).

The Championships will take place for the first time in seven countries, i.e. Belarus, India, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore and the United Arab Emirates.
