The FISU America Games (Spanish: Juegos FISU América, Portuguese: Jogos FISU América) is a continental multi-sport event between college athletes from countries of the Americas.[2] It was first held in 2018 to provide additional competition for athletes before the global FISU World University Games, also known as the Universiade.[3]
Its regional predecessor for South America, the South American University Games (Spanish: Juegos Universitarios Sudamericanos, Portuguese: Jogos Universitários Sul-Americanos), was first held in 2004 and originally scheduled on a quadrennial basis, but after 2010 it was held irregularly.
