FISU officially announced that the [[Trentino]] region of [[Italy]] would host the event.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20131229052103/http://www.iihf.com/home-of-hockey/news/news-singleview/recap/6517.html?tx_ttnews%5BbackPid%5D=955&cHash=702518bd51 2013 Universiade moved]</ref>

The motto of the event was "Inspired by U". The torch, made by the Department of Industrial Engineering of the [[University of Trento]], recalled a flower of [[gentian]] with five petals in the shape of a ski, with colors that recall the Olympic colors and the five stars of the universes. It was officially lit by [[Pope Francis]] in Rome on 6 November 2013.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://trentinocorrierealpi.gelocal.it/cronaca/2013/11/06/news/papa-francesco-ha-acceso-la-fiaccola-delle-universiadi-1.8063815|title=Papa Francesco ha acceso la fiaccola delle Universiadi|journal=Trentino Corriere Alpi|date=2013-11-06|access-date=2013-12-10|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131214094333/http://trentinocorrierealpi.gelocal.it/cronaca/2013/11/06/news/papa-francesco-ha-acceso-la-fiaccola-delle-universiadi-1.8063815|archive-date=2013-12-14|url-status=dead}}</ref>

The city of [[Maribor]] ([[Slovenia]]) was the only one bidding city for the event. On May 31, 2008, Maribor won the right to host the event, but later withdrew.

After the FISU revoked the rights of Maribor, they began secret negotiations with the region of [[Trentino]] that, for financial reasons, had withdrawn their bid to host the [[2017 Winter Universiade]]. Two weeks after the resignation of Maribor, negotiations were completed and Trentino was formalized as the new host region. The factor that gave a boom for the negotiations was the fact that their infrastructure was ready and did not need improvement works.<ref>[=http://www.fisu.net/en/FISU-moves-2013-Winter-Universiade-away-from-Maribor-to-Trentino-to-safeguard-the-26th-Edition-2644.html?idProduit=2180 {{Webarchive|url=https://archive.is/20120731095711/http://www.fisu.net/en/FISU-moves-2013-Winter-Universiade-away-from-Maribor-to-Trentino-to-safeguard-the-26th-Edition-2644.html?idProduit=2180 |date=2012-07-31 }}]</ref>
After the FISU revoked the rights of Maribor, they began secret negotiations with the region of [[Trentino]] that, for financial reasons and a lack of sponsors, had withdrawn their bid to host the [[2017 Winter Universiade]]. Two weeks after the resignation of Maribor, negotiations were completed and Trentino was formalized as the new host region. The factor that gave a boom for the negotiations was the fact that their infrastructure was ready and in use.As they,did not need improvement works.Later,the event was a scope to the winning bid for Milan and Cortina D'Ampezzo to host the [[2026 Winter Olympics]] and the region will act as satelite venue hub.<ref>[=http://www.fisu.net/en/FISU-moves-2013-Winter-Universiade-away-from-Maribor-to-Trentino-to-safeguard-the-26th-Edition-2644.html?idProduit=2180 {{Webarchive|url=https://archive.today/20120731095711/http://www.fisu.net/en/FISU-moves-2013-Winter-Universiade-away-from-Maribor-to-Trentino-to-safeguard-the-26th-Edition-2644.html?idProduit=2180 |date=2012-07-31 }}]</ref>

The 2013 Winter Universiade, the XXVI Winter Universiade, was a winter multi-sport event which took place in Trentino, Italy between 11 and 21 December 2013.

This was the first time that a Winter Universiade happened after the Summer Universiade in same the year and in the end of the year and missing two months for the 2014 Winter Olympic Games. Originally, it was planned to take place in Maribor, Slovenia in late January and early February,[1] but the Government of Slovenia overturned its decision to partially fund the project due to financial problems in February 2012.[2] In March 2012, the International University Sports Federation decided that it would organise the Universiade elsewhere.[3] FISU officially announced that the Trentino region of Italy would host the event.[4]

The motto of the event was "Inspired by U". The torch, made by the Department of Industrial Engineering of the University of Trento, recalled a flower of gentian with five petals in the shape of a ski, with colors that recall the Olympic colors and the five stars of the universes. It was officially lit by Pope Francis in Rome on 6 November 2013.[5]

Bid selection

[edit]

The city of Maribor (Slovenia) was the only one bidding city for the event. On May 31, 2008, Maribor won the right to host the event, but later withdrew.

After the FISU revoked the rights of Maribor, they began secret negotiations with the region of Trentino that, for financial reasons and a lack of sponsors, had withdrawn their bid to host the 2017 Winter Universiade. Two weeks after the resignation of Maribor, negotiations were completed and Trentino was formalized as the new host region. The factor that gave a boom for the negotiations was the fact that their infrastructure was ready and in use.As they,did not need improvement works.Later,the event was a scope to the winning bid for Milan and Cortina D'Ampezzo to host the 2026 Winter Olympics and the region will act as satelite venue hub.[6]
