A forum dedicated to university sports was held in Jeddah at the University of Business and Technology, drawing more than 350 participants as part of Sports Day activities marking the International Day of University Sport.
Held under the theme “Towards More Distinguished and Sustainable University Sports,” the forum covered a broad range of topics, including identifying and developing athletic talent, sports management, media coverage, and student health.
Discussions on talent development stressed the importance of cooperation among families, schools, universities, and the wider community to help athletes reach their full potential. Participants recommended building stronger links between these parties as a foundation for a sustainable sporting pathway.
Focus on student health
A significant part of the forum addressed the health side of university sport. Sessions explored physiotherapy, injury prevention, recovery, nutrition, sleep, and the role of university sports-medicine programs in keeping student-athletes safe and performing well.
For students and families across the Kingdom, the forum reflects growing attention to organized, sustainable sport on campus — an area that supports both physical wellbeing and the development of local athletic talent. By linking families, schools, and universities, the event pointed to practical ways communities can nurture the next generation of athletes.
