The rebirth post-war period

It is necessary to await 1949 to see the creation of the FISU with Luxembourg by Dr. Paul Schleimer. The FISU is then in competition with the International union of the students which had organized the university worldwide games in 1949, little before the foundation of the FISU. Held until in 1957 with the only Western nations, the university tests open starting from this date with the countries of Eastern Europe then under Communist regime. This evolution is done under French influence. In 1959, FISU and RESULTING agree to take part together in the university Worldwide games organized in Italy. These plays are the first to bear the name of Universiade. The FISU takes then the control of Universiades and sets up university championships of the world.
