The SELL Student Games, or Student Sports competitions, were launched in 1923 i Tartu, Estonia. Two years ago the competitions celebrated their 100th anniversary. During the World Wars the organisation of the competitions was somewhat suspended, but this year marks the 40th edition.

The SELL Games attract participants from around ten countries, but the responsibility for organizing the games lies alternately with the SELL countries - Finland, Estonia, Latvia or Lithuania. In 2025, Finland will be responsible for the organization and the venue will be the Sports Institute of Finland in Vierumäki. Vierumäki Sports Oy, Haaga-Helia University of Applied Sciences and the Finnish Student Sports Federation are responsible for the organization of the event in cooperation with the Finnish Sport Institute Vierumäki.

Choosing the sports was a bit of a challenge, as there are so many sports to choose from in Vierumäki. the sports in which in Vierumäki will compete on May 16th-18th, are now as follows: volleyball, badminton, judo, powerlifting, table tennis, chess, 3 vs. 3 basketball, floorball, soccer (women 7 vs. 7, men 11 vs. 11), athletics - running, beach volley, orienteering and padel. Most of the sports will also be students competitions, i.e. OSM competitions.
