ABOUT TWENTE (TOP)SPORT

SPORT IN TWENTE: WHERE PERFORMANCE AND COMMUNITY COME TOGETHER

ACTIVE

SPORT IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF TWENTE'S COMMUNITY

Sport brings people together and has positive effects on your body, including your mental health. Playing sports makes you happy, and in Twente, we’re lucky to experience that joy. Whether it’s individually at the gym, together on the field, or cheering from the sidelines. We cheer for each other, with each other. This is where Tukkers do shout their pride from the rooftops or, more accurately, shout their support as spectators to the athletes.

Major and important sporting events include the Enschede Marathon, FBK Games, CSI Twente, Triathlon Holten, and Military Boekelo. For sports enthusiasts and adventurers, Twente is a paradise. The landscape with its forests and rivers invites walking, cycling, horse riding, canoeing, and fishing. But you can also enjoy active relaxation in various indoor and outdoor survival parks.

TECH

TECHNOLOGY AND (TWENTE)TOP SPORT

In top sports, it's all about getting the best out of human performance. Twente, as a smart impact region, is an ideal ecosystem for top athletes to push their limits and for the top sports events mentioned above. This is why entrepreneurs, researchers, and educational institutions are collaborating on new technologies that support this. And, of course, on innovative sports and exercise offerings. One example is the Sport Tech Center Twente at the innovation campus Connect-U. They develop and apply cutting-edge technologies to enhance athletic performance. Football clubs FC Twente and Heracles work with an innovation manager to ensure they stay at the top.
