The SELL Student Games is a multi-sport event open to all university and college students worldwide, organised under the patronage of the European University Sports Association (EUSA) and the International University Sports Federation (FISU). The name of the event is derived from the first letter of the participating countries in their respective languages (Soumi for Finland, Eesti for Estonia, Latvija for Latvia and Lietuva for Lithuania). 

Over 1,300 participants from 10 countries, representing 28 nationalities and 38 universities, gathered in Kaunas for the 2024 SELL Student Games.
