In 2025, 14.4 thousand sporting events are planned in Russia, of which more than 9 thousand have already been included in the unified calendar plan. Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko and Sports Minister Mikhail Degtyarev presented plans for the development of competitive activities and Russia’s participation in the international sports movement.
Of the planned events, 290 competitions have been classified as priorities.
“As President Vladimir Putin noted, Russia has always been and will remain true to the ideals of sport and will continue to actively promote them in the country and in the world – in close cooperation with our friends from other countries. This year, the Russian Federation will host 95 international tournaments, including with athletes from BRICS, SCO, EAEU and CIS, 40 all-Russian complex competitions with foreign participants and teams, as well as 155 Russian championships in Olympic sports and other important sports disciplines,” said Dmitry Chernyshenko.
The Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that, despite external restrictions, Russia maintains high competitive activity.
“On the international stage, Russian athletes will take part in 57 world championships in Olympic sports. One of the key events will be the Games of the Future, which were first held in Russia in 2024, and this year will be held in the United Arab Emirates,” added Dmitry Chernyshenko.
According to him, the Government continues to support Russian athletes and create conditions for their training and participation in competitions.
“Russia is planning to host 25 major international competitions with the participation of foreign athletes. The Silk Way Race will once again pass through Russia and Mongolia, bringing together the best racers in the world. Our athletes must be ready for the largest world competitions – this is the strategic goal that President Vladimir Putin sets for our industry,” said Sports Minister Mikhail Degtyarev.
These tournaments include the Ivan Yarygin Wrestling Cup, which was attended by representatives from 20 countries, the Alina Kabaeva Rhythmic Gymnastics Champions Cup, and the Moscow Sabre International Fencing Tournament, which will bring together athletes from 15 countries.
“We will increase the number of major international competitions in Russia and are ready to offer our partners modern sports venues and a high level of organization. We are waiting for a consolidated plan for holding world championships and other international tournaments up to 2038 from sports federations by February 1,” the minister emphasized.
Mikhail Degtyarev also noted that 2025 will be a special year in terms of sporting events.
“The year of the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War has been declared the Year of the Defender of the Fatherland by Russian President Vladimir Putin. We have proposed that sports leagues, clubs and federations use the approved brand book of the Pobeda organizing committee at each match and tournament, inform spectators about the significance of this year and hold patriotic events. More than 70 major sporting events, including the Cross of Nations, the Run.RF, the Spartakiad of Pre-Conscription Youth and many others, will be dedicated to this important date,” the Minister of Sports said.
