Opening Ceremony Rhine-Ruhr 2025 FISU World University Games

In the organizer's words:

Every party needs someone to open the dance floor, and the spectacular opening ceremony at the Schauinsland-Reisen-Arena on July 16, 2025 will really set off the rocket for the FISU Games! A dazzling cultural performance will set the pace for the moment all top student athletes have been waiting for - running into a packed stadium together with dear friends and teammates - when everyone can turn to each other and say: "I'm in". Inspiring speeches, the raising of the FISU flag and the traditional anthem "Gaudeamus Igitur" will officially open the games.

Of course, a good party also needs the right sound: Ayliva, the superstar from the Ruhr region, will perform at the opening ceremony. The Recklinghausen native, who is currently breaking all records with sold-out arenas and her number 1 album, is really looking forward to the opening. Just like Montez, who will also be performing at the opening ceremony - and is sure to provide the right sound and goosebump moments in the arena. Because Ayliva and Montez will be accompanied exclusively by the WDR Funkhaus Orchestra during their performances - this is where the sparks will fly! With your ticket for the opening ceremony, you have the extraordinary opportunity to experience other top-class artists in addition to Ayliva and Montez, which will be announced on our channels one by one. So stay tuned, the Rhine-Ruhr region has never seen a show like this before. Book your tickets quickly for this unique event!

Sales note

Tickets for the opening ceremony in the Schauinsland-Reisen-Arena will be sold in blocks. This means that each buyer purchases a block, but not a fixed seat. Within the block purchased, you can choose a free seat as long as it has not yet been taken by someone else. There are therefore no numbered seats, but the principle of "first come, first served" applies within the block.

Public transport: Your admission ticket is also a ticket for a return journey to/from the venue in Duisburg within the meaning of the VRR tariff in price level D and is valid on the day of the event printed accordingly.
