The AUSF Secretariat manages the Federation’s daily operations and administrative functions, supporting the work of the Executive Committee and member federations.
The Secretariat has been based in Beijing since 2004.
The Secretariat is responsible for:
The Secretariat operates with the support of the China Student Sports Federation and benefits from funding assistance provided by the International University Sports Federation (FISU). AUSF maintains its own dedicated office to support its continental role.
AUSF is legally incorporated in China as the official continental governing body for university sport in Asia.
AUSF operates under a comprehensive governance framework that defines its mission, structure, membership, and operational standards.
The AUSF Constitution and Regulations:
All governance documents are maintained to ensure:
The mission of AUSF is formally defined under Article 3 of the Constitution, serving as the foundation for all activities and programmes.
The origins of AUSF date back to 1989, during the World University Games in Duisburg, Germany, where university sports leaders from nine Asian countries explored the idea of regional collaboration.
Subsequent preparatory meetings were held:
These discussions led to the drafting of the AUSF Constitution and governance framework.
On 28 March 1992, the inaugural General Assembly was held in Bangkok, officially establishing the Asian University Sports Federation. The founding members were:
China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Mongolia, Chinese Taipei, Thailand, and Vietnam.
Since then, AUSF has expanded steadily, strengthened its institutional foundation, affiliated with FISU, and established a permanent Secretariat in Beijing.
AUSF envisions a united Asian university sports community where sport serves as a powerful bridge between cultures, nations, and generations — nurturing excellence, integrity, and lifelong friendship through education and competition.
The mission of AUSF is to promote international friendship, respect, and understanding among Asian nations through university sport.
