BRICS Sports Games open in Russia

About 4,000 athletes will take part in the competition

The BRICS Sports Games have started in Kazan, the capital of the Republic of Tatarstan. The competitions will run until 23 June. The Games have never been held in Russia before. TV BRICS is the international information partner of the BRICS Games.

The start of the tournament itself was given by Russian President Vladimir Putin via video link.

"I declare the 2024 BRICS Sports Games open. I wish the athletes and their mentors successful starts, bright victories, and the spectators and fans – bright and unforgettable impressions"

Vladimir Putin President of Russia

About 4,000 athletes from more than 90 countries will take part in the Games. They will compete for awards in 27 sports at 17 sports venues in Kazan and Moscow.

On 13 June, the first competition day of the BRICS Games will determine the winners in five sports – synchronised swimming, sambo, wushu, weightlifting and artistic gymnastics.

Badminton, tennis and table tennis tournaments will also start, while qualifying heats will be held in rowing. Russia's first gold medal at the Games was brought by three-time Olympic synchronised swimming champion Svetlana Kolesnichenko.

The BRICS Games are annual multi-sport competitions between the member states of the BRICS economic group. As a rule, the event is organised by the country chairing the group for a year. In 2024, Russia has this right, and it was decided to hold the BRICS Games in Kazan.

On 22 June, the BRICS sports ministers' meeting will bring together representatives of China, UAE, Egypt, Ethiopia and Iran, India, South Africa and Brazil.

Prabowo Subianto

President of Indonesia

"This roadmap sets the framework for our joint efforts. Indonesia and Belarus have great potential for expanding cooperation in various fields. Our cooperation will focus on industrial development and agricultural modernisation. In industry, we see a major opportunity to increase trade volumes, investment, and cooperation between our two countries. We are also pushing for closer collaboration in culture and human resource development"

Liao Fan

Director of the Institute of World Economics and Politics at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS)

"We also encourage countries of the Global South to work together and contribute to the global economy. We also call on developed countries to set aside issues such as national security and strategic competition when we are discussing real global challenges – pressing issues such as public health or poverty reduction – so that development resources can be channelled truly effectively to those countries that need them. [...] Major powers and large countries must bear greater responsibility for the well-being of people around the world. This is the responsibility of the major powers"

Anutin Charnvirakul

Prime Minister of Thailand

"Russia has been a trusted friend of Thailand for over a century. […] Next year, we will mark the 130th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between our countries. We will commemorate this important milestone with high-level exchanges, thereby reaffirming our shared commitment to an even stronger partnership for the benefit of our peoples"

Ferdinand Marcos

President of the Republic of the Philippines

"First, peace, security and stability. [...] We need our joint efforts to contribute to peace and security and to respond promptly to all threats. Second, a more dynamic economic partnership. Our areas of cooperation in trade are developing. We need to act more ambitiously and decisively in order to facilitate trade, economic flows and the expansion of the business community. [...] And third, perhaps one of the most important areas, is our peoples, grants, student exchanges, academic partnerships and tourism. [...] The relationships that are being built between our countries are reflected in the summit declaration, and they provide what policy alone cannot achieve"

Anwar Ibrahim

Prime Minister of Malaysia

"The relations in the last few years have been remarkable. We have seen impressive development, and my visit was – you were fantastic. We see the enormous role that Russia can play not only in Malaysia but also in the developing world, ASEAN and the rest. We are exploring this halal economy and finance. We are now almost finishing the visa abolition arrangement. [...] And then you have also agreed to these flights for tourism, for trade, and connectivity between Malaysia, Moscow, Kazan, and other cities in Russia"
