As part of summing up the results of the year, the Government Coordination Center announced the digital capital of the country in 2025. The qualifying tournament for the upcoming Games of the Future – Fidgetal Games – will be held next year in Nizhny Novgorod.
“On the initiative of our President, a new, previously non-existent movement “phygital” was created. The first Future Games in the history of mankind, which were attended by the heads of seven states, were a great success. The format that we created is already supported in 106 countries,”
noted Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko.
Competitions in physical disciplines are held in Serbia, Armenia, Cameroon, Uzbekistan and other countries.
In Russia, the development of the physical movement is determined by the concept approved by the Government. Moreover, the word “phygital” has become one of the main state words of the year in Russia, along with the words “self-realization”, “historical enlightenment” and “sovereignty”. More than 3 thousand documents were used for analysis. RANEPA experts conducted a quantitative and qualitative analysis of strategic planning documents and speeches by Vladimir Putin.
“Russia, as the parent country, must first of all show what the development of this amazing product can be like. A product that creates a completely new, harmoniously developed personality that is equally perfect in both the digital and real world,” added Dmitry Chernyshenko.
“32 regions are already actively involved in the work, 300 of our athletes have already participated in the selection and will go to the Future Games in the Emirates. We would like to wish the guys there every victory and success, since Russia is used to being a leader in all areas, including sports. We are a great sports power. And despite the fact that fidgetal is at the intersection of science, education and sports, it is something completely new. We want to give all records our ringing names there too,” the Deputy Prime Minister noted.
In 2025, “GOTF.Major.Russia Phygital Games” will be held in Nizhny Novgorod. 14 Russian cities applied for the right to host the tournament.
“The digital movement in the Nizhny Novgorod region is developing at an accelerated pace. This year, as part of “CIPR-2024,” we held the first fidget festival, and in the summer – the first fidget camp, we include competitions in fidgetal basketball, football, racing, hockey and even fidget sledge hockey in the largest sports tournaments. We organize master classes at mass sporting events so that as many children as possible, who are passionate about computer games, are involved in classical sports, and athletes of basic sports receive additional skills with the help of “phygital”. I thank the organizers for choosing our site to host the All-Russian Phygital Games. It is a great honor for us to host this tournament in Nizhny Novgorod. We will make every effort to ensure that the competition is not only held at the highest level, but also becomes a real celebration of the sport of the future for all participants,” said Governor of the Nizhny Novgorod Region Gleb Nikitin.
The Games of the Future is a unique tournament in the “phygital” concept, a sports show of a new format that combines competitions in the physical and digital dimensions. More than 2 thousand athletes from different countries took part in the “Games of the Future – 2024” tournament, which was held in Kazan from February 21 to March 3, 2024, in 21 innovative disciplines. Other countries have picked up the baton of the Games of the Future: next year the tournament will be held in the United Arab Emirates, and in 2026 in Kazakhstan.
Fidgetal games are annual all-Russian competitions in fidgetal sports. The winning teams of the competition receive the right to participate in international qualifications, and if they collect a sufficient number of rating points, a direct ticket to the annual international multi-sport tournament “Future Games”.
Phygital Games 2024 were held in Moscow from September 1 to 8 at the forum-festival “Territory of the Future. Moscow 2030″ at the Luzhniki sports complex. They included competitions at the Russian Fidget Sports Championship 2024 in the disciplines “Rhythm Simulator” and “Tactical Shooting” and national qualifications in fit football and fit basketball.
