The International University Sports Federation, FISU, was developed within university institutions worldwide to propagate sports values and promote sports practice in perfect synergy and complementarity with the university spirit.
American Football entered the programme of the FISU World University Championships in 2013, when the FISU Executive Committee accepted the application of the International Federation of American Football and its president Mr. Tommy Wiking. This application came with a bid from the Swedish city of Uppsala to be the inaugural host of the WUC American Football.
In 2016, the city of Monterrey, Nuevo León (Mexico) will welcome the best student-athletes in the world in American Football for the second edition of the World University Championship in that sport.
The 2nd Annual World University American Football Championships kick off on June 1 in Monterrey, Mexico featuring teams from the United States, Mexico, Japan, India, China and Guatemala.
The championship final is scheduled for June 11.
The inaugural event took place in Uppsala, Sweden in 2014 with five countries competing and Mexico emerging as the winner after beating Japan in the final.
