Media accreditation for the Rhine-Ruhr 2025 FISU World University Games is now open!

Journalists, photographers and content creators from all over the world are invited to register to report on this unique event.

The Rhine-Ruhr 2025 FISU World University Games Summer (16-27 July) are less than four months away. The media accreditation portal opened on 21 March and will remain so until 1 June 2025.

Dear media representatives, we would be delighted to count you as “all in” during the FISU Summer Games in the Rhine-Ruhr region and in Berlin and to support you in your work in the best possible way. Click on the link below, register, and look forward to interesting days full of sporting action and cultural events in Germany!

From 16 to 27 July 2025, the Rhine-Ruhr region, together with Berlin, will host one of the largest multi-sport events in the world. Around 8,500 top student-athletes from up to 150 countries will compete in 18 sports – a unique opportunity for media representatives to bring exciting stories and outstanding performances from the heart of the Rhine-Ruhr region and the German capital to the world.

The Rhine-Ruhr 2025 FISU Games are the biggest multi-sport event of the year in Germany and offer much more than just sporting competition. In addition to a top-class international field of student-athletes, you can expect a multi-faceted major sporting event that combines sport, science, music and culture.

• The media accreditation is required by anyone conducting onsite media coverage of the event in the form of storytelling, news reporting, photography, videography, broadcasting, etc. This includes media professionals such as:
• Written press (news agencies, magazines, newspapers, online media)
• Photographers
• Non-Rights-Holding Broadcasters (the TV and radio companies who are engaged in producing video news highlights)
• Media departments of institutions (such as sports federations, sports clubs, venues, host cities, universities, partners)
• Influencers/Bloggers

Please note that Rights-Holding Broadcasters will need to apply through a separate form to obtain media accreditation.

Media accreditation for the Rhine-Ruhr 2025 FISU World University Games is independent of media accreditation for the Team Draw, which takes place on 7 April 2025 at the Luftschiffhangar in Mülheim an der Ruhr.

If you have already been accredited for the Team Draw, you will need to apply for a new media accreditation for the Rhine-Ruhr 2025 FISU World University Games as this will not be transferred automatically.

In our Media Accreditation Guide you will find a step-by-step instruction on how to accredit for the FISU Games and further information on the requirements that must be met in order to obtain media accreditation.

The Organising Committee Media Services Team will be happy to answer any questions you may have and look forward to welcoming you to Rhine-Ruhr 2025 this summer.
