Since September 2021, the Széchenyi István University has included backgammon as an optional course in its sports studies. A minor sensation was created at the selection trials for the World Championship, as one of the institution's teachers and one of its students were selected for the six-member national team preparing for the World Championships in Sweden this summer.

Széchenyi István University hosted a highly successful event, PlayIT, on Saturday 23 March: the national gamerexpo was attended by nearly three thousand people. The event attracted people of all ages and offered fun for the whole family, with several venues on campus for gaming and e-sports enthusiasts.

Széchenyi István University participated with two teams in this year's Hungarian University and College National Championship (MEFOB) ice hockey tournament. After winning the silver medal last year, the students from Győr won the final this year and were able to stand on the top step of the podium.
