On November 9 Tatarstan President Rustam Minnikhanov spoke at a session of FISU executive committee in Brussels (Belgium) where he went with official Russian delegation to take part in presentation of Krasnoyarsk as a candidate city for hosting winter Universiade 2019.

Rustam Minnikhanov reminded that 27th World summer student games were successfully held in Kazan in July 2013. “In May 2008 I promised to hold the best Universiade in the history of FISU, and our 5-year preparatory work finished on July 17. At every stage of our work Russian President and Government supported us,” Rustam Minnikhanov said.

Tatarstan President noted that the idea to host summer Universiade was positively taken by the population. “Besides new sports and urban infrastructure, we got a great experience of holding major sports international events, and we are ready to share it with Krasnoyarsk colleagues,” he added.
