Antequera will host the 13th World University Golf Championship from June 7th to 11th, 2010, following its success in South Africa last year. Today, the championship's anthem, mascot, and official poster were unveiled in the presence of prominent officials who expressed their support for the event, which is a year in advance.

To this end, a meeting of the institutional organizing committee was held, attended by the Vice-Rector for Social Welfare and Equality of the University of Malaga, Teresa Prieto, the President of the Royal Spanish Golf Federation, Gonzaga Escauriaza, the Mayor of Antequera, Ricardo Millán, the Director of Sports of the UMA, Pedro Montiel, the Secretary General of the Andalusian Golf Federation, Juan José Gómez-Raggio, the Delegate for Tourism, Commerce and Sport of the Junta de Andalucía, Antonio Souvirón, the Head of the Youth and Sports Service of the Diputación de Málaga, Antonio Merino, and the CEO of Antequera Golf, Ramón Jiménez.

The anthem, composed specifically for this competition, is titled 'Fair Play' and was produced by a doctor affiliated with the Autonomous University of Madrid. The song will be performed live at the championship's opening ceremony on June 6, 2010.

Furthermore, the director of sports at the University of Malaga (UMA) announced that the mascot designed for the World Cup will be shown to all schools in Antequera, and the students will name it, thus involving the city in this event.

At the press conference held before the meeting, the tournament dates were announced: June 7-11 of next year. It was also announced that the opening ceremony will take place at Antequera Golf Course and the closing ceremony at the Royal Collegiate Church of Santa María.

A promotional campaign will then be launched in over 180 countries worldwide, distributing advertising materials and brochures about the University of Malaga, Antequera, and Antequera Golf. This will take place during the Serbian Universiade, which is being held this year. Later, in September, a delegation representing the European University Golf Championship will travel to the Algarve region of Portugal to attract top-level golfers from various countries who will then travel to Antequera.

All the authorities took advantage of the event to give their full support to this project, which they hope will put Andalusia and Antequera on the map worldwide.

More than 20 teams from countries around the world are expected to attend, along with more than 160 participants who will develop their game over 4 days of competition.

A month before the World Championship, the Spanish University Golf Championship will be held on this same course, serving as a test event for the organization of the June tournament. The University of Malaga has already submitted a request to the Higher Sports Council (CSD) to host the event. Antequera has previously hosted the national university tournament twice.

Furthermore, next week - from June 10th to 12th - Antequera Golf will undergo its first inspection by the International University Sports Federation (FISU). The FISU Director General of Competitions, Laurent Briel, the technical manager of the organization, R. Robinson, and the head of the institutional area of the World Championship, Roberto Outeiriño, will be visiting Antequera for this purpose.
