PSU International Sports Day 2026 Connects Thai and International Students Through Sports
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.
