On the "Youth Russia" profile day at the RUSSIA EXPO, the Volunteer Program of the World Friendship Games 2024 was presented. It is planned to attract more than 7500 volunteers to organize and conduct the Games. The organizers spoke about the main stages of the volunteer program, the competition and application mechanism, as well as about the volunteer work itself.

The World Friendship Games 2024 is the first multi-sport competition under the auspices of the International Friendship Movement, which includes competitions in 33 sports. The unique event will be a space for intercultural dialog based on the high ideals of sport, the principles of openness and mutual respect.

"The event is very big, global. This is the first time it will be held in such a format in our country. Participants from all over the world will compete in 33 disciplines. We plan that there will be about six thousand participants, of which only a thousand are Russian citizens," stressed the head of the Volunteer Management Department of the ANO "World Friendship Games Organizing Committee" Renat Karimov.

"We can say that we built our careers on serious projects: in 2014 we helped in organizing the Olympic Games in Sochi, we helped with the World Hockey Championship, the World Football Championship, many European and World Championships. And now we are preparing our own major international event to be held in Russia. We will be waiting for foreign athletes to participate. And for foreign volunteers to work together. But the main thing is that the World Friendship Games will finally be held under the auspices of our country. Moscow and Yekaterinburg will be the organizing cities of this big event," said Anastasia Kondrashova.
