2015 Summer Universiade

The 2015 Summer Universiade (), officially known as the XXVIII Summer Universiade () and also known as Gwangju 2015 () was a multi-sport event for student and youth athletes sanctioned by the International University Sports Federation (FISU), held in the city of Gwangju, South Korea. It took place from July 3 to July 14, 2015.

Bid selection The cities of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada; Taipei, Taiwan; and Gwangju, South Korea were in initial contention for the Games. Edmonton previously hosted the 1983 Summer Universiade, and all the infrastructure built for those two events was in use and was part of the project, which gave the city a big advantage, but the subprime mortgage crisis in 2008 led the city to withdraw. This left only Gwangju and Taipei at the final phase. On May 23, 2009, FISU awarded the hosting rights to Gwangju.Universiades for 2015 attributed
