June 13th, 2008

The EUSA Executive Committee met for its second meeting in 2008. The meeting took place from June 6-7, 2008 in London (GBR). Mr. Phil Attwell, the Chairman of the British Universities Sports Association (BUSA), which hosted the meeting, welcomed all the participants and wished them a successful meeting. Mr. Attwell also announced that this is the last meeting in the organisation of BUSA, since next week a new national university sports federation, named British Universities and Colleges Sport (BUSC) will be formed in GBR. Mr. Alberto Gualtieri, the EUSA President, thanked BUSA for the organisation of the meeting and welcomed all the members and the invited guest Mr. Kiritsis Michalis, the President of the Greek University Sports Federation.

Among others, the following decisions were taken on the meeting: 2009 European Universities Championships 2009 EUC FOOTBALL Due to withdrawal of Leipzig as the organiser of the 2009 EUC Football, the EUSA Executive Committee decided to send a new call for candidatures for the 2009 EUC Football organisers. The deadline is July 1st, 2008. 2009 EUC VOLLEYBALL The new venue of the 2009 EUC Voolleyball is Hamburg (GER).
