Incomparable TUCSPORT FEST: 44 teams fight for victory!

Reichenhainer Straße, 09126 Chemnitz, Deutschland - On June 4, 2025, the TUCSport festival took place on the Reichenhainer Straße campus at the Technical University of Chemnitz. The event had a record participation of 44 teams, which has been the highest number so far. The festival was organized by the Center for Sport and Health Promotion (ZFSG), led by Dr. Katrin Karger. Under the motto "Let's Fair Play Tucgether!" the teams competed against each other in a total of eleven disciplines.

The competitions included ongoing A, Cricket, Disc Golf, Beer-Pong, Human-Table Soccer and for the first time also day rugby. Competitions in the bell ball and the running culture also took place in the sports hall. The most unusual team costumes were also awarded, with the team “Die Kurzen” emerged as the winner with a smurf outfit. The "Le3D" team saw the fun game competition as the winner of "Hufa-Saurier" and "Vikings". A small field football game between employees and students ended 3: 3, with the students win in the subsequent penalty shootout.

The TUC soccer tournament starts at 4 p.m. with a award ceremony at 7:30 p.m. At the same time, the day of health takes place in parallel, in which numerous offers are provided for inclusion and accessibility. Dealing with inclusion in sport is a central topic that also deals with the State Sports Day 2015 in Thuringia.

inclusion in sport

The State Sports Association Thuringia is actively committed to inclusion in sports. Sport is seen here as a connecting element that brings people together across impairments. The self -determined, equal and equivalent participation of people with and without disabilities are in the foreground. Many initiatives to promote inclusion in sports are anchored in sports clubs.

The offer for people with disabilities also includes the training and further training of trainers as well as club managers in the field of inclusion sports. In addition, strategies and successful practical examples are provided on the subject of exchange. The Olympic base in Thuringia also supports the development of the Paralympic competitive sport, whereby historically, athletes were particularly promoted in athletics.

The upcoming event on June 14 promises to offer important information on inclusion and accessibility in addition to sporting challenges, which makes the TU Chemnitz a pioneer in integration promotion in sport.
