4 sports, 64 matches, nearly 300 students: Le Creusot hosted the IUT Regional Cup!
This Thursday, November 14, the IUT du Creusot hosted the IUT Regional Cup at the Halle des Sports and at the Stade Jean Garnier. Nearly 300 students from Burgundy-Franche-Comté came to compete against their peers in Basketball, volleyball, handball and 7-a-side Football.
Le Creusot students were present in all disciplines, and even had two teams competing in basketball and football. From 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., they faced players from the 4 other IUTs of Burgundy-Franche-Comté: IUT Besançon-Vesoul-Dôle, IUT Chalon-sur-Saône, IUT Dijon-Auxerre-Nevers and IUT Nord Franche Comté (Belfort).
Faced with the competition, the Creuset students did not stand out, winning 3 of the 4 gold medals at stake in the football, handball and basketball events. In volleyball, however, it was the IUT Dijon team that won.
Organized by the Office of Student Life, the event also benefited from the support of STAPS license students, who although they could not be present on the field, distinguished themselves as referees and logistical assistants.
Friendly events rich in meetings and matches, the IUT cups of Burgundy-Franche-Comté are always very popular with students. The next dates have already been set: it will be March 13, 2025 again at the IUT of Creusot, and November 13, 2025 at the IUT of Besançon (or Dôle).
