The 1975 Summer Universiade, also known as the VIII Summer Universiade,[1] took place in Rome, Italy. The 1975 Universiade only featured athletics, other disciplines having been cancelled, as the original host Yugoslavia was unable to hold the event.[2] It was therefore referred to as the World University Championships in athletics.[3][4]
