The games were suspended in 2022 due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, with FISU ruling that the event would not take place in Yekaterinburg. Instead, the Chinese city of Chengdu, which was to have hosted in 2021, is hosting the delayed 2021 Summer World University Games in 2023.[3] To replace the suspended 2023 Summer World University Games, Russian authorities announced that they would host the inaugural University International Sports Festival as a replacement.[4]
