The Fijital Centre of the Volga Region State University of Physical Culture, Sports and Tourism became the winner of the SportsFacilities 2024 Cup. The university's facility won in the ‘Discovery of the Year’ nomination.
The Sports Facilities award was presented at the SPORTB2B EXPO&FORUM24 forum in Moscow. The award is given to various regions and sports facilities.
Recall that in February this year, as part of the International Multisport Tournament ‘Games of the Future’, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko and Minister of Sport Oleg Matytsin opened the Fijital Centre.
‘The Fijital movement operates everywhere, already 63 countries around the world have opened representative offices of the movement,’ Chernyshenko said at the opening. - It is very symbolic that the Volga Region State University has created a fijital centre where people will develop more harmoniously in all directions. Centres like this one give such an opportunity’.
‘First of all, I am glad that Volga Region State University has become one of the venues of the Games of the Future. This is a contribution to the future. Students have the opportunity to do sports. We have been saying that maybe other universities should do sports here too. Naturally, the Ministry of Sports will develop Fijital in the subordinate universities,’ Matytsin said in turn.
The Fijital Centre is a sports ground, which is a single space for classical and digital sports. All the necessary infrastructure for training and tournaments in fijital sports has been created on the territory of Volga Region University: a mini-football field, a streetball court and a vorkout zone, as well as a digital space with a computer room, a zone of game consoles and virtual reality.
