Nominate a university: Free entry to the World University Team Chess Championship
 

Dear Federation,

A reminder that the FIDE World University Team Chess Championship is open for registration, and that each national federation is entitled to nominate one university from your country to participate free of charge.

Under the championship regulations, the entry fee is €100 per team, but one nominated team per federation is exempt. If you have a strong university chess programme at home, this is a direct route to getting them into the event at no cost.

The World University Team Chess Championship is governed by FIDE and organized by the Kazakhstan Chess Federation, together with the Almaty city administration and with support from Kazakhstan’s Ministry of Sports and Tourism.

What you need to do

1. Identify the university you wish to nominate.
2. Ensure the team registers at worlduniversities2026.fide.com before one of the two qualifier deadlines:
   • Qualifier 1: 27 April 2026, 23:59 UTC
   • Qualifier 2: 4 May 2026, 23:59 UTC
3. Confirm the nomination with us at worlduniversity@fide.com so the entry fee is waived.
