As part of the preparations for the two events, a delegation from the European University Sports Association (EUSA) arrived in the city for a site visit. At the locations and at the consultations following the visit the local organizers presented the specifics of Debrecen that affect the events, and discussed the most timely issues in the current phase of the organization and the upcoming joint tasks.
On behalf of EUSA, sports manager Miha Zvan, assistant sports manager Mariano Carcatella, and Jeanine Tjin A Sioe, the technical delegate of next year's 3x3 European University Basketball Championship, visited the University of Debrecen. Two specialists of the Hungarian University-College Sports Association, György Kovács, Deputy Secretary General and László Végh, project manager, were also among the visitors.
