With the theme “SIGED ASCU-SN: Celebrating Athleticism, Culture and Unity,” the festival gathers 27 state universities and colleges from Northern and Central Luzon to strengthen camaraderie and unity through diverse sports and cultural competitions.

This regional convergence of SUCs supports several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 3 – Good Health and Well-Being, as it promotes physical activity, mental wellness, and a healthy lifestyle among students and educators. The event also exemplifies SDG 17 – Partnerships for the Goals, demonstrating the power of collaboration and solidarity among higher education institutions across the Solid North.
