Postponement
The games were suspended in 2022 as result of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine with FISU ruling that the event will not take place in the Russian city. Instead, the Chinese city of Chengdu, which was to have hosted in 2021 will now host in 2023.[3]
To replace the suspended 2023 Summer World University Games, Russian authorities announced to host the first International University Sports Festival and participate in the third Russian-Chinese winter youth games instead.[4]
