Our heritage
The University of Nottingham has a strong history of sporting succes; we were one of the founding institutions of the inter-varsity competition (UAU now called BUCS) and have finished in the top ten of the University league tables for more than 30 years. Our sporting greats have gone on to win multiple Olympic, World and Commonwealth titles.
We're incredibly proud of our sporting heritage and the inspirational achievements of our alumni and current students - our ambitious vision for the future promises even more exciting moments to come.
Are you a sporting alumni of the University of Nottingham? We'd love to hear from you and find out more about your memories of sport at Nottingham.

Alumni Reunions at University of Nottingham Sport
Proud of the lifelong friendships students built through sport at the University, the University of Nottingham Sport offers a discounted alumni rate for those teams who would like to organise #GreenandGold reunions.
A great example of these lifelong friendships is the Northern Allstars team, they played together in the Nottingham Universities Sunday Football League in 1990/91. They now bring their families to David Ross Sports Village for an annual 11v11 football match and have been doing so every July since 1996!
If you are interested in bringing your team back together, please contact our Alumni Relations team at: alumni-enquiries@nottingham.ac.uk.
Officially opened in 2017 at the David Ross Sports Village, the University of Nottingham Sport Hall of Fame celebrates the inspirational achievements of Nottingham alumni in the sporting world.
