I am very pleased to welcome all the athletes, officials and guest to Warsaw,

On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of our first EUSA Championships, I would like to express our gratitude to the affiliated Members, Executive Committee, Technical Delegates and STC Members who shared the ideas and dedicated their time as well as their energy to the development of the University Sport in Europe and beyond.

On behalf of EUSA and personally, I would like to thank the Organising Committee for the efforts made in the organisation of this Championship which is a further proof of the involvement of the University Sports Association of Poland in the University Sport Activity in Europe and of the amazing ability to run such a prestigious event.

I hope this will be an unforgettable experience for all the athletes as I believe that the future of our Association and the success of our Championships comes through you, students, who are the heart of EUSA, the main actors of the University Sport Movement.

Our events are also an opportunity to spread the values of sport, to promote the principles of friendship and understanding among different cultures, to compete for the best placing bearing in mind the importance of fair play and respect for the other participants.

I hope you will keep these values alive not only in sport but in your every day life because you are our future as you will play a fundamental role in the well-being of our society.

Welcome to the European Universities Football Championship!

Alberto Gualtieri
President
