For the Rhine-Ruhr 2025 FISU World University Games it is planned to install hubs at the two main clusters of Düsseldorf and Essen as event and logistic centres.

They will be set up as meeting points for athletes and officials, for event locations for accompanying events as well as transport hubs.

The event concept involves the usage of a total of 21 competition venues at established sport locations and at showgrounds in Bochum, Duisburg, Düsseldorf, Essen and Mülheim an der Ruhr.

The already available venues and the temporary ones are all located within a 25 kilometres radius and are interconnected by a dense public transport network, that allows a compact, modern and especially sustainable event concept.
