It took place from July 3 to July 14, 2015. ## Bid selection The cities of [Edmonton, Alberta](/source/Edmonton), [Canada](/source/Canada); [Taipei](/source/Taipei), [Taiwan](/source/Taiwan); and [Gwangju](/source/Gwangju), [South Korea](/source/South_Korea) were in initial contention for the Games. Edmonton previously hosted the [1983 Summer Universiade](/source/1983_Summer_Universiade), and all the infrastructure built for those two events was in use and was part of the project, which gave the city a big advantage, but the [subprime mortgage crisis](/source/Subprime_mortgage_crisis) in 2008 led the city to withdraw. This left only Gwangju and Taipei at the final phase. On May 23, 2009, FISU awarded the hosting rights to Gwangju.[1] ## Venues ### [Gwangju](/source/Gwangju) - [Gwangju World Cup Stadium](/source/Gwangju_World_Cup_Stadium): ceremonies, athletics - [Dongkang College](/source/Dongkang_College) Gymnasium: basketball - Yeomju Gymnasium: volleyball - Nambu University International Aquatics Center: swimming, diving - Yeomju Indoor Aquatics Center: water polo - Yeomju Bitgoeul Gymnasium: judo - Gwangju Women's University Universiade Gymnasium: gymnastics - [Honam University](/source/Honam_University) Football Field: football - Jinwol International Tennis Court: tennis - Yeomju Indoor Tennis Court: tennis - Kim Dae-Jung Convention Center: fencing - [Gwangju KIA Champions Field](/source/Gwangju-Kia_Champions_Field): baseball - [Mudeung Baseball Stadium](/source/Gwangju_Mudeung_Baseball_Stadium): baseball - Gwangju International Archery Center: archery - [Chosun University](/source/Chosun_University) Gymnasium: taekwondo - [Honam University](/source/Honam_University) Gymnasium: volleyball - [Gwangju University](/source/Gwangju_University) Gymnasium: basketball ### [South Jeolla](/source/South_Jeolla_Province) (Jeonnam) **[Boseong](/source/Boseong)** - Boseong Public Stadium: football **[Gurye](/source/Gurye)** - Gurye Indoor Gymnasium: handball **[Hwasun](/source/Hwasun)** - Hwasun Hanium Culture Sports Center: badminton **[Jangseong](/source/Jangseong)** - Jangseong Hong Gil-Dong Gymnasium: table tennis - Jangseong Lake : marathon swimming **[Mokpo](/source/Mokpo)** - [Mokpo International Football Center](/source/Mokpo_International_Football_Center): football **[Muan](/source/Muan)** - Muan Indoor Stadium: basketball **[Naju](/source/Naju)** - [Dongshin University](/source/Dongshin_University) Gymnasium: volleyball - Naju Public Stadium: football - Naju Gold Lake Country Club: golf - Naju, South Jeolla Province Shooting Range: shooting - Naju Indoor Stadium: handball **[Suncheon](/source/Suncheon)** - Palma Gymnasium: volleyball **[Yeonggwang](/source/Yeonggwang)** - Yeonggwang Sportium Gymnasium: basketball - Yeonggwang Sportium Football Field: football ### [North Jeolla](/source/North_Jeolla_Province) (Jeonbuk) **[Gochang](/source/Gochang)** - Gochang County Gymnasium: handball - Gochang Public Stadium: football **[Jeongeup](/source/Jeongeup)** - Jeongeup Public Stadium: football ### [North Chungcheong](/source/North_Chungcheong_Province) (Chungbuk) **[Chungju](/source/Chungju)** - [Tangeum Lake](/source/Tangeum_Lake): rowing ## Identity ### Mascot *Nuribi*, the official mascot The official mascot of the 2015 Summer Universiade is an angel of light named *Nuribi*.
