UniRoos Ready for FISU Summer World University Games

Australia’s UniRoos are ready to make their mark on the international stage as the 2025 FISU Summer World University Games officially get underway in Germany, with the student-athletes excited to represent Australia across a wide range of sports. 

Leading the team into the opening ceremony is Arnav Raja, who has been named as Australia’s flag bearer. Arnav, a sabreur in the fencing team, embodies the spirit of dedication that defines the UniRoos. 

Currently in his third year studying a Bachelor of Cognitive Science at the University of California, San Diego, Arnav is a dual-program athlete, competing through both his university and the Fencing Australia pathway. Ranked inside the world’s top 100 (95^th), Arnav recently achieved a 14^th placed finish at the 2025 Asian Championships and will head straight from Germany to the World Fencing Championships in Georgia, capping off a demanding and high-level international campaign. 

No stranger to the World University Games, Arnav also competed in Chengdu 2023, where he placed second in his pool and secured a final ranking of 27th. This is the final year Arnav is eligible to compete in the World University Games, so he has made this competition a personal priority, and his commitment to representing Australia is unmatched.
