The international Future Games tournament, pioneered by Russia, kicked off in Kazakhstan's capital Astana. Russian Sports Minister Mikhail Degtyarev, speaking at the opening event, emphasized that phygital sports, a combination of physical and digital sports, hold great future promise.
Degtyarev said, "The 'Future Games' format created in Russia has gained international recognition. The phygital movement continues to unite countries and offer opportunities for the development of sports."
Kazakhstan became the third country to host the tournament after Russia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). More than 800 athletes from 50 different nations are expected to participate in the games, which will run until August 9.
Ahead of the tournament, Degtyarev participated in a session in Astana with UAE Sports Minister Ahmed Belhoul Al Falasi and Kazakh Tourism and Sports Minister Yerbol Myrzabossynov to discuss the future of phygital sports.
Sharing Russia's experience there, Degtyarev noted that sports programming, computer sports, drone racing, laser tag, and phygital sports are officially recognized in the country. He said, "The development concept for the phygital movement has been approved, nearly 40 phygital centers are operating, and more than 80 innovative sports competitions are on the calendar of the Russian Sports Ministry. Russian universities are opening relevant programs."
Degtyarev stated, "The potential of phygital sports is enormous. The more countries join this movement, the faster we can shape the sport of the future, which is modern, technological, and open to new generations."
