Mon, 25/02/2008 - 11:42
A record number of women’s teams registered for Budapest 2008. The basketball women competition finally deserves a place at the Games with 9 registered university teams. In addition, the partcipating universities will represent more countries than ever, 29 in total already at this moment. Finally, the total number of participating teams has increased with nearly 35 % in comparison with the already successful Vienna 2007 Games.
Although the registration period for the Budapest 2008 Games is officially finalized and some competitions have already reached participation limits, IFIUS will still allow entry requests for some weeks. With this decision, the Federation hopes to help the many Middle East and Asian Universities requesting an extension of the registration deadline. Mid April 2008, when all participation formalities are finalized, IFIUS will place an overview of all participants per sport on this website.
