Prince of Songkla University (PSU), through the Global Affairs and Corporate Communication Center, organized PSU International Sports Day 2026 on September 12, 2026, at the PSU Sports Complex. The event was officially opened by Assistant Professor Dr. Teerasak Jindabot, Director of the Global Affairs and Corporate Communication Center.



Held under the concept of “Sports as a Universal Language,” the event brought Thai and international students together to build friendships, exchange cultural experiences, and develop cross-cultural communication and teamwork skills.



Students were divided into four teams and participated in fun traditional games, including the Over-the-Head Ball Relay, Six-Legged Race, Chopstick Ball Challenge, and Obstacle Eating Challenge. The activities were followed by men’s doubles, women’s doubles, and mixed doubles badminton, with Thai and international students paired together to encourage interaction and teamwork. The event concluded with an awards and souvenir presentation ceremony.


Beyond promoting health and enjoyment, PSU International Sports Day 2026 provided an experiential learning opportunity that strengthened students’ cross-cultural communication skills and encouraged friendships and networks across diverse backgrounds. It also supported international students in adapting to university life at PSU.



The event is part of PSU’s commitment to Internationalization at Home (IaH), creating opportunities for students to experience cultural diversity beyond the classroom and strengthening their global competencies through sports, friendship, and collaboration. It reflects PSU’s vision of fostering an open, inclusive, and internationally connected university community.
