About the event

From September 11 to September 17, 2026, Yekaterinburg hosted the International Youth Festival — a large‑scale event that brought together young people from various regions of Russia and foreign countries.

 The festival programme included educational sessions, meetings with well‑known speakers, creative competitions, sports and cultural events, as well as various interactive activities.

 Starting from September 13, the “Sports House” venue operated as part of the festival; it was organised by the Russian Olympic Committee together with the Ministry of Sport of the Russian Federation and the Russian Sports Foundation.

Over the course of five days, guests at the “Sports House” could learn about the activities of sports organizations, take part in themed activities, communicate with famous Russian athletes and representatives of the sports industry, and also receive memorable prizes and gifts.

 The program of the venue included the participation of famous Russian athletes, including Maria Gromova, Alina Zagitova, Angelina Melnikova, and Elizaveta Tuktamysheva.

 The “Sports House” became a space that brought together sports and interactive events, meetings with representatives of the sports community, and various formats of communication with the youth audience.
