Sports Teams

My name is Okan Özbay. Since 2007, I have held various positions in Anadolu University Sports Affairs Directorate, Health, Culture and Sports Department, Deputy Secretary General and Student Affairs Department. My area of expertise is sports activities. Anadolu University participates in inter-university sports events organized by the University Sports Federation. It is important to have students who are interested in sports. There is a considerable participation of our open education students in the competitions we participate in with the sports teams we formed as a result of the try-outsw. Our students can organize sports events in our indoor astroturf, outdoor volleyball and basketball courts connected to Çarşı A Sports Facilities, as well as on our outdoor tennis courts and swimming pool, which they can use for 6 months depending on seasonal conditions. During the spring semester of the academic year, we organize on-campus sports events at our university. Apart from this, we are a university that has participated in Turkish championships such as swimming, archery and athletics as well as football, women's handball and women's volleyball team sports in the Super League. In the past years, our university has become the champion of Turkey in football, volleyball, men's and women's handball branches. These teams, which are the champions of Turkey, represented both our country and our university in the Inter-University European Championship. The sports teams of the university are open to all students who are interested in sports and have done sports before. Before the championships, the try-out dates are announced by faculties and vocational schools. Participation in sport events is ensured with the teams formed as a result of the selections. Taking part in Anadolu University sports teams will contribute to a healthier life for our students, to socialize through sports and to get to know the university better. Although not connected to our university, Anadolu University Youth and Sports Club provides the opportunity to do sports under the roof of the club for our students who have done sports before or are active licensed athletes. As of 2021, dozens of our students are engaged in sports as part of Anadolu University Youth and Sports Club in our women's handball, football and archery branches. Our university is a university with a successful history in sports and sufficient experience in both on-campus and national and international events. We welcome all students who will choose our university, who have done sports or who want to continue doing sports, to Anadolu University. We wish you all success in your exams.
