The water sports palace, gymnastics centre and other sports facilities have already been built in Kazan in preparation for the World University Games and are ready for visitors.
The 45,000-seat soccer stadium will be the venue for the opening and closing ceremonies, as well as hosting the Games’ media centre, conference area for delegation heads, and a religious centre. The stadium is also to be one of the venues for matches when Russia hosts the Soccer World Cup in 2018.
