Host selection
Sports
In addition to the 15 compulsory sports, up to three optional sports can be chosen, while respecting the infrastructure and local demands. The organizing committee has proposed beach volleyball, rowing and 3x3 basketball, along with some Paralympic disciplines (which marks the first Summer World University Games to feature para-athletes and para-sport events, following its introduction at the 2025 Winter World University Games), as its optional sports. This will be the first time that 3x3 basketball will be part of the World University Summer Games program, while beach volleyball returns since it was last held at the 2013 Summer World University Games, while rowing remains after returning for the 2021 Summer World University Games in 2023.

Venues
The organising committee is planning to use existing sports facilities, with some being renovated for these games. Unlike previous editions, this edition will be completely decentralized. Instead of an athlete's village, athletes will stay in hotels and university residential buildings in the region. The competition venues are spread over 5 cities in the region: Düsseldorf (which acts as the main venue cluster), Bochum, Duisburg, Essen and Mülheim.[2]
