Panathlon International President’s greetings for the 10th Anniversary

Panathlon International President’s greetings for the 10th AnniversaryDownload

Dear Friends

it is with great pleasure that I join all of you to bring my greetings and those of Panathlon International on this occasion.

Ten years have passed since Panathlon International, with a resolution of the International Board, has authorized the establishment of the Committee of Panathlon Clubs of Universities (PCU). A choice to support and disseminate the principles of our Association through sport and art within the large international student community.

Many initiatives have been carried out in these years to promote our values: from the International University Games, to Trophies, to Graphic and Photographic Competitions. A very lively, active, and dynamic activity that has also led to an excellent synergy between Panathlon International and the University of Antwerp.
The University has also hosted several Assemblies and Congresses of Panathlon International, a path full of initiatives and commitment to convey the values in which we believe, education, fair play, moral training in sports and civil life.

Even in this juncture, during which the Pandemic has dictated its rules, you have shown to be determined and close to young people, maintaining the activity and communication and at the same time promoting remote actions.

Now we must look to the future. Each of us, regardless of organizational roles, must contribute to the growth of our Association, transforming into concrete actions our purposes and trying to become protagonists on the territory of the values that inspire us. After this period we need it even more! Times change and require more and more commitment, dedication, and passion, but these are characteristics that we sportsmen know well and that do not discourage us.

Long live Panathlon International and the Clubs of Universities!

With the cordial appreciation and affectionate wish of the entire International Board, I wish you a happy anniversary!

Rapallo, 21 September 2021

PCU Games 2020 (on venue) cancelled, PCUGAMES@HOME

July 1, 2020/in Uncategorized

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the PCU Committee regrets to announce the cancellation of the 2020 PCU Games (on venue), but a valuable online alternative will be ensured in October 2020, PCUGAMES@HOME. Details about the PCUGAMES@HOME are announced by the start of September 2020. The PCU Committee made its decision to cancel the PCU Games (on venue) based upon the following reasons:

  • Impossibility of organizing Basketball, Futsal and Volleyball Games while keeping “physical distance”.
  • Uncertainty about the possibility of a “second wave” or new outbreaks of the virus, possibly causing new restrictions locally and internationally.
  • Financial uncertainty for participants purchasing travel tickets and accommodation.
  • Uncertainty about the possibility of organizing “big” indoor sporting events in Belgium in October.
  • Uncertainty about the possibility of organizing social “side events”, like visits of tourist attractions, parties, …
  • Uncertainty about financial situation in many countries (and possible funding of their participation).

All the factors above will result in a lesser number of teams participating, leading to a lesser experience for those teams who would attend. In addition, 2 editions being held in a 6 months interval in the same academic year, would also impact the number of teams participating in the 2021 edition.
