With excellent access via a nearby tram stop, the Rhénus enjoys a strategic location and an environment suited to both athletes and spectators, helping to make this competition a major sporting and student event in Strasbourg.

THE UNIVERSITY SPORT CENTER (CSU)

For 67 years, the University of Strasbourg campus has been home to a university sports center. Over the decades, generations of students have been able to play sports there, discover new disciplines, and represent their university. As a cornerstone of extracurricular life, university sports have always contributed to the richness and diversity of campus life.

A NEW CHAPTER:  The CSU built from the ground up 

After 66 years in its former facilities, the CSU opened the doors to its new building in October 2025, right in the heart of the Esplanade Campus. This new facility offers student-athletes an ideal environment to prepare for competition. Thanks to its high-quality courts and proximity to the athletes’ housing, the CSU ensures a seamless and comfortable training experience for all participants.

A SHOWCASE FOR THE 2027 EUROPEAN UNIVERSITY BADMINTON CHAMPIONSHIPS

As part of the 2027 European University Badminton Championships, this modern building will make its courts and adjacent facilities available to athletes as the official training venue for these championships.

This marks the beginning of a new chapter for the CSU: one on the European stage, in a venue that combines the legacy of more than six decades of collegiate sports with the energy of a brand-new facility.
