International Student Sports Festivals

International Student Sports Festivals Overview

UniSport’s international student sport festivals provide free opportunities for international students studying at Australian universities to connect, compete and celebrate their diverse backgrounds through sport.

The inaugural event was delivered in Melbourne in 2024. This year, planning is underway to deliver events in WA, Victoria, NSW and Queensland, offering opportunities for international students to play a range of sports, including 3×3 basketball, badminton, table tennis, cricket, football (soccer), volleyball and pickleball.

Past events have provided fantastic opportunities for international students to meet many other students, including from their home country and from their university, helping build connection and provide a greater sense of belonging in a new environment. This demonstrates the role sport can play in improving overall health and wellbeing of international students, therefore building greater relevance of sport within universities.

Grant funding received from the Australian Government managed by the Australian Sports Commission will help make the 2026 events possible.
