A meeting on the development of phygital sports in general education organizations was held under the chairmanship of Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko.
It was attended by the Minister of Education Sergey Kravtsov, Deputy Minister of Sports Odes Baysultanov, President of the All-Russian Federation of Phygital Sports Nikita Nagorny, as well as representatives of other interested organizations.
"With the support of President Vladimir Putin, the development of an innovative sports movement has been launched – phygital sports, combining digital and physical activities. The first games were successfully held in Kazan, and this movement has already spread to 117 countries. We see evidence of the effectiveness of this format. And our coordinated actions will determine how this movement will develop where it was invented – in Russia, including in the scientific and educational spheres," said Dmitry Chernyshenko.
He gave examples of the positive impact of phygital on society: for example, at the 2025 Victory Cup, doctors said that phygital technologies contribute to the accelerated recovery of those wounded in the SVO, and they also help to involve children and young people in gamers in sports.
The government has approved the Concept for the Development of the Phygital Movement until 2030 and an action plan for its implementation.
Among the important measures for the development of the phygital movement, the Deputy Prime Minister noted the creation of game content, improvement of the material and technical equipment of educational institutions and the formation of a system of incentives and rewards. He recalled that the Phygital Games – 2025 will be held in Nizhny Novgorod from September 17 to 20, and also proposed holding an open phygital lesson for general education organizations as part of the upcoming International Sports Forum "Russia – a Sports Power".
Minister of Education Sergey Kravtsov noted that the impetus for the promotion of phygital sports could be given by concluding an agreement between the department and the All-Russian Federation of Phygital Sports.
"We are gradually developing the phygital sports direction in the education system, and there are already successful developments. At the first stage, we propose to introduce phygital sports programs into the educational process both as part of extracurricular activities and in additional education. This can be done on the basis of school sports clubs, of which 38 thousand have already been created. We are seeing an increase in schoolchildren's interest in classes in such clubs – the coverage has increased from 2 million in 2021 to 3.4 million in 2024," noted Sergey Kravtsov.
The President of the All-Russian Phygital Sports Federation Nikita Nagorny noted the need to hold a large phygital event that would combine a championship and a festival.
