The World University Games or Universiade is a multi-sport event that takes place every 2 years (odd numbers) and has 10 core sports and 4(?) guest sports. The ten core sports are athletics, basketball, fencing, football, gymnastics, swimming, diving, waterpolo, tennis and volleyball. There is a Summer and a Winter Universiade. Archery has been a guest sport at three WUSGs, Daegu (S Korea) in 2003, Izmir (Turkey) in 2005 and Belgrade (Serbia) in 2009. If archery is included as a guest sport for a three consecutive games it should be automatically included in all future World Uni Summer Games, but the separate World Uni Archery Championship would then be discontinued. FITA are currently working towards this.
FISU World University Archery Championships is a stand alone event held every 2 years (even numbers). The first such championships was in 1996 in France.
