Napoli 2019 Summer Universiade
Donation protected
My name is Alyssa Nikkel, from Toronto, Ontario. I am a second-year forensic science student from Ontario Tech University and I also have the privilege of representing the Ridgebacks Women’s Soccer Program. This past year I have had the opportunity to attend training and selection camps for Team Canada at the upcoming World University Games (FISU). I’m so happy to say that this past week at our training camp in Oshawa, I received the news that I have been selected and will be travelling to Napoli Italy this summer to play for Canada!
Playing for our country at an international competition is a dream come true for my teammates and I. Unfortunately, at the current time, this national team is not funded by Sport Canada. Our journey will rely on local businesses from our respective communities and the generosity of friends and family. We are flexible with the levels of support and every little bit helps.
A little bit about the World University Games:
The Summer Universiade is an international university sports and cultural event that is staged every two years in a different city. These games draw many thousands of student-athletes together to compete, making it one of the largest multi-sport events in the world.
Embracing the FISU motto of ‘Today’s Stars, Tomorrow’s Leaders,’ the Summer Universiade incorporates educational and cultural aspects, encouraging student-athletes from around the world to combine high sports performance with their intellectual pursuits.
This year's twelve-day Summer Universiade in Napoli Italy is projected to feature over 13,000 athletes making it the largest competition for student-athletes in the world. https://www.universiade2019napoli.it/?lang=en
