After the 13-sport MEFOB Fest in Győr, Széchenyi István University hosted the Final Four of the Hungarian University-College National Basketball Championship. The institution's men's team finished fourth, while the women's team took second place.

Sport is of great importance to Széchenyi István University, which has recently become the sports capital of the Hungarian higher education. As soon as the MEFOB Fest in Győr ended with a great success, Széchenyi István University hosted another national university championship. Having organised the festival in 13 individual and team sports, the Győr campus hosted the men's and women's basketball MEFOB on 13-14 May.

The women's semi-final was a home win for Győr, as the defending champions ELTE-BEAC got defeated in a great battle. In the finals TFSE could not be surprised, so UNI Győr SZESE won the silver medal at home, while the bronze medal was won by ELTE-BEAC in a close match against DEAC.
