The curtain has just fallen on the BRICS Games, organized from June 12 to 23 in Kazan, with a few events in Moscow. But the Russian organizers have already taken stock. According to the Minister of Sports of the Russian Republic of Tatarstan, Vladimir Leonov, the multi-sport event would have cost 1,2 billion rubles, or only a little less than $14 million. “ The budget was modest compared to other large events, he explained at a press conference. As the project was new, our partners helped us a lot. But most of the funding was provided by federal grants. The Tatarstan authorities contributed 200 million rubles » (around 2,1 million euros). Vladimir Leonov clarified this to the media: the budget for the 2024 BRICS Games did not include the renovation of sports facilities and the upgrade of the road network.
