Opening ceremony

The event's Opening Ceremony highlighted local culture, especially dance, as Joinville is known as the national capital of dance. The Governador Pedro Ivo Campos Municipal School, which is a ten-time champion of the local Dance Festival, gave a creative performance.

Another memorable moment was the tribute to the city's athletes. After the parade of delegations, the flag of the Brazilian University Sports Confederation (CBDU) was carried by the JUB mascot, Joka. The alligator Fritz, Joinville's mascot, carried the flag of the host city of the 2023 Brazilian University Games. The athlete's oath was taken by Unoesc volleyball player João Guilherme de Mattos, who represented Brazil at this year's World University Games in China.

The Brazilian flag was then carried by sprinter Ádria Santos, a four-time Paralympic champion and Brazil's greatest Paralympic medallist. Alongside Ádria, Olympic swimmer Eduardo Fischer, a native of Joinville, also took part in the celebrations. Local table tennis athlete Lhays Stolarski was responsible for the parade with the symbolic torch and the lighting of the Olympic pyre. Lhays was also part of the Brazilian delegation at the World University Championships.
