“The Summer World University Games are a major international competition. We won the right to hold the World Student Games in 2008, and the practical work began in 2009. Over this time, the Republic of Tatarstan allocated some of its own funds for the preparations, but the bulk of the funding has come from the federal budget, 25 billion roubles in total.”
