Welcome to Aarhus University Sport!

In Aarhus University Sport (AU-Sport) we work to connect students from different backgrounds and fields of study through sports. Join one of our clubs if you want to have fun and meet new people!
AU-Sport is an umbrella organisation that cooperates with 18 different independent sports clubs.
We offer a wide range of sports activities for all students in Aarhus! All students - both Danish and international are very welcome. Our 18 clubs offer everything from chess to swimming to football. We also have a sports hall that all students can book to play badminton with friends and fellow students.
AU-Sport also organizes Denmarks Largest Friday Bar and Sports Day, which takes place every year in September. We and our 18 clubs organize various tournaments and activities throughout the day. The purpose of the day is to give students the opportunity to play, compete and have fun together - to give all students the feeling of being a part of a greater community.

RENT A BADMINTONCOURT
At Aarhus University Sports, we’ve established an awesome collaboration with Annexhallen—a large sports hall located just a five-minute walk from Nobelparken!
Annexhallen, built in 1953 and continuously modernized, features six badminton courts that YOU, as a student at Aarhus University, can rent at an affordable price! So if you’re up for a game of badminton without breaking your student budget.
Starting from September 23th, 2025, we’ll reopen bookings for Annexhallen’s badminton courts every Tuesday from 11:00 pm to 3:00 AM and Thursday from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM. You can book one hour at a time, but feel free to reserve as many courts and hours as you like!

JOIN US ON OUR HIKING TRIPS!
Instead of our annual surf trip, AU-Sport goes on hiking trips!
We’re packing our backpacks and setting off to explore some of the beautiful landscapes we can find – here in Denmark, and perhaps later in the Norwegian mountains.
Bring your study buddy along, or come solo and join us on trails filled with nature, community, and unforgettable experiences. Whether it’s the danish forrest or mountain hiking in Norway, one thing is certain: you’ll get rosy cheeks, sore legs, and memories that last long after the trip is over!

Denmark's Largest Friday Bar & Sports Day
Every year in September Aarhus Universitets-Sport organises Danmarks Største Fredagsbar og Idrætsdag (Denmark's Largest Friday Bar and Sports Day) in cooperation with Studenterrådet.
The event is a day full of sports and music for the students at Aarhus University and other higher educations in Aarhus. The day starts with various sports tournaments and activities, which Aarhus University Sport and our 18 sports clubs organize. Students compete against each other in a wide variety of sports where everyone has the opportunity to participate. In the afternoon and until midnight various music stages provide a great and festive atmosphere for the guests. The music program always contains a wide range of artists!
The purpose of the event is that students get the opportunity to compete, play and socialise with each other across different educational backgrounds.
All in all, Denmark's Greatest Friday Bar and Sports Day gives the students a feeling of being part of a greater community.
