GENERAL PRESENTATION BOĐAZÝÇÝ UNIVERSITY / BOSFOR UNIV.

Formerly known as Robert College, the history of the university dates back to 1863, as the first American institution of higher education established outside the USA. Situated on a hill-top overlooking the Bosphorus, the university enjoys a reputation of being one of the

most distinguished higher education establishments in Turkey and the Middle East. The university is a member of a network of universities across Europe and the USA with which there is a dynamic student exchange program.

SPORTS COMMITTEE

Sports Committee’s history lies its roots back to “The Athletic Association” founded

in 1896 at Robert College. This organization was also the first student club to be established in Turkey, setting an example. Sports Committee’s aim, as one of the main parts of social life

in Bosphorus University, is to create a sportive environment with our numerous organizations and also to represent our school as good as we can in sports.

For the past 115 years, the Sports Committee has been arranging all the sports events

in the university. Binding 800 sportsmen in 23 different branches of sports under its root, this association has also various organizations which are SnowBreak, Field Day, Fall Games, Night Ball, 3 vs. 3 Tournament and Sports Fest.

SPORTS FEST

Field Day, as it was known then, has continued under its new name “Sports Fest”.

This, much established and cherished event is probably one of the most significant and symbolic activities for students since it provides a perfect ground for bringing together sportsmen from across the globe in a spirit of competitiveness and friendship.

Many universities, which previously took part in “Sports Fest”, have repeatedly come

back for what turns out each spring to be a wonderful opportunity to take part in competitive sports events while striking new friendships.

This festival starts with the opening ceremony on 12th May and lasts for 4 days. On

Thursday you will have a boat trip in Bosphorus and visit some historical places (Grand

Bazaar, Hagia Sophia Museum, Topkapi Palace) where you can also do shopping. Same day

at the evening, there will be an Opening Ceremony. Next day will begin by starting of

competitions held in all 14 different branches of sports. Matches will be played in venues across university campus. Sportsmen will have “live concerts”, “Ferry Party” and “Now OR Never Party” after a tiring and competitive day. In order to make sportsmen and coaches have

fun and feel relaxed, exhibition games and animations will be provided in the south campus.

Food and drinks are free during the tournament for the players.

Our guests will be welcomed at Istanbul Airport by their guides. Having 2 choices of

accommodation, you can stay either in the gym which is located in Ucaksavar Campus with other sportsmen or at the Hotel which is at least 4 stared, in double or triple rooms. Due to limited rooms and beds, we would like you to respect deadlines as well.

So just take your suitcase and think about how much fun you’ll have this spring in

Istanbul!

We can’t wait to see you in May!
