By order of Russian Ministry of Sports No. 599, competitions in the “Games of the Future” format were included in the unified calendar plan of physical culture and sports events. They will be held in September and November 2022.
The first tournament will be held in the capital of Tatarstan from September 18 to 24, 2022 in four disciplines: digital football (FIFA + futsal), digital basketball (NBA + streetball), Beat Saber - a VR game where the participant needs to break geometric figures to the musical rhythm and score points, and race drones. All of them correspond to the concept of phygital, combining the physical and digital principles, and force the athlete to show both sports training and technical and digital skills.
