Dmitry Chernyshenko greeted the participants of the final of the Victory Cup 2025 competition in phygital sports among fighters injured during the SVO
The final of the phygital sports competition among fighters injured during the SVO and undergoing rehabilitation in specialized institutions, “Victory Cup – 2025”, was held in Moscow at the Luzhniki Tennis Palace.
Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko and President of the All-Russian Phygital Sports Federation, Olympic champion, three-time world champion, eight-time European champion in artistic gymnastics Nikita Nagorny greeted the participants of the Victory Cup 2025 final and talked to them. The participants were also addressed by the chairperson of the Healthy Fatherland movement Ekaterina Leshchinskaya and the chairman of the board of the Movement of the First Artur Orlov.
The Deputy Prime Minister thanked the veterans of the SVO, the All-Russian Federation of Phygital Sports and the All-Russian public movement “Healthy Fatherland” together with partners.
“The work you are doing cannot be overestimated. You are now creating new history. This is happening at a very important and difficult time for our country, for all of humanity. 2025 is the year of the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War, the Year of the Defender of the Fatherland. Many saw how President Vladimir Putin reacted yesterday at the Sports Council to the fact that today we will be opening the final of the phygital sports competition – the Victory Cup. The reaction was very positive. The head of state recalled the success of the Games of the Future, which took place last year in Kazan – this was the first and stunning success of our country. The President gave birth to a new, previously non-existent movement, in which tens of millions of children are now participating,” Dmitry Chernyshenko emphasized.
The Deputy Prime Minister also emphasized that the idea was voiced at the Sports Council that the priority task is to ensure that everyone has the same opportunities, so that the guys who were wounded while performing their duty in the area of the special military operation could feel like full members of society.
“It is important that the phygital movement is perfect for the rehabilitation of SVO fighters. Many thanks to the doctors who confirm the effectiveness of this movement, these technologies and methods. Our finalists, SVO fighters, veterans, are essentially pioneers and experimenters who are creating a new sport that people all over the world will definitely do. And by your example, you will give not just hope, but confidence that equal opportunities will be realized. In our country, the President does everything to ensure that there are opportunities for self-realization and for the development of talents,” said Dmitry Chernyshenko.
Now the participants are creating technologies that will give a huge number of children the opportunity to feel the taste for life and compete in real competitions. Today, the Second International Forum of the Phygital Movement is taking place in the United Arab Emirates, which includes the Russian Federation. This movement already includes about 90 countries that hold competitions in their countries. The Games of the Future will be held in Abu Dhabi in December 2025. The next games will be held in Kazakhstan – in Astana. It will soon be known which country will host the 2027 Games. This means that the movement founded by our President has found support all over the world.
Dmitry Chernyshenko also talked to veterans of the SVO – participants of the competitions and assessed the competition zones in the disciplines: phygital squash, phygital boxing, phygital racing. The Deputy Prime Minister noted the importance of technologies developed for the adaptation of veterans and their inclusion in digital sports, and also thanked SMP Racing for its work, which in a short time and at its own expense provided sports infrastructure for SVO fighters with disabilities.
The Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that the main principle of “phygital” is for a person to be harmoniously developed both virtually and in reality. Their task, having mastered phygital skills, is to rehabilitate as soon as possible and, using new technologies, engage in real sports.
An innovative solution for the Victory Cup 2025 final was the format of the phygital squash competition. The winners of the qualifying competitions, which were held in VR format on Russian software specially developed for these competitions, were joined by leading Russian squash players.
Nikita Nagorny spoke about the importance of the tournament for the rehabilitation of fighters:
“Our federation always tries to try something new, to offer something that no one has done before. Today we have taken into account the interests and needs of those who are undergoing rehabilitation after completing combat missions – many of them find it difficult to participate in other sports events, but this does not mean that the problem cannot be solved. This is a huge social task for the entire state. We are grateful to those who took part in its solution.”
The event was organized by the All-Russian Phygital Sports Federation (ARFS) and the All-Russian public movement “Healthy Fatherland”. The competition, timed to coincide with the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War, provides an opportunity to evaluate achievements in the field of integration of technologies, rehabilitation and sports.
