Dear Kasvmar Kimelevich, dear tournament participants, dear guests and heads of delegation, ladies and gentlemen, friends. I am pleased to welcome you to the opening of the third international multisport tournament, the Future Games. These unique competitions embody sport and innovation, physical and intellectual culture. Their main mission is to promote the harmonious development of people who are forward -looking, open to progress, and confident in the use of the most advanced technologies. A person who understands the value of knowledge and strives for improvement. I am convinced that over time, the number of independent disciplines in both the games program and phygitol sports in general will grow, as will their popularity. Russia is one of the leading sporting powers on the planet, the birthplace of great athletes, records, and victories. We are proud that our country stood at the origins of the phygital movement. And, of course, we create all the conditions for the development of this sport. Let me remind you that the All-Russian Phygital Sports Federation was founded back in November 2022, and in February and March 2024, we hosted the first Games of the Future, which generated great interest among both athletes and spectators around the world. I would like to point out that from the very beginning, these games have been and remain free from political considerations, any forms of discrimination, and double standards. It is important that the geography of games is expanding. This year, they are being hosted by vibrant, modern, and dynamically growing Astana, which took over from Abu Dhabi, the host city of last year's competition. I would like to highlight the significant contribution to the development of the phygital movement and games made by the future President of Kazakhstan, Kasum Zhamart Kimelevich Takayev. It is thanks to his personal involvement and stakeholder position that the third Games of the Future are being held in Astana. Kazakhstan has strong sporting potential. Its representatives deservedly achieve high awards at prestigious international competitions. We are well aware of the traditions of generosity and hospitality that distinguish our Kazakhstani friends. Therefore, I am confident that the games will be held at the highest level, and that athletes and spectators will receive many positive emotions from the uncompromising competition of the teams. I wish the competition participants success, and the guests vivid, unforgettable impressions. Have a nice trip.
