About us
We create the future of sport!
Our vision is a commitment.
This means that we in student sports have a very conscious relationship with developing competent leaders, coaches and referees for both Norwegian sports and society at large, and we therefore also have a completely separate education module in our organization.
Our mission statement
Student sport combines sport and studies so that the study period is active, social and stimulating, filled with joy and a sense of belonging in the student sports teams.
Student sport is the arena where individuals can achieve the goals they set themselves in the combination of sport and studies, both as athletes and as representatives. The Norwegian Student Sports Federation is a special association in Norwegian sport, on a par with, for example, the handball association and the ski association.
However, we organize activities in all sports, but what makes us special is that our clubs are organized by, for and with students.
We reach a special target group; those between 18-30 who are involved in organized sports in a student sports team – divided into over 80 different activities.
We are a member of the European Student Sports Association (EUSA) and the International Student Sports Union (FISU), and represent Norwegian student sport internationally as well as participating in competitions and championships regulated by EUSA (European Student Championships) and FISU (Student World Championships and Universiade).
