The 2024 World Friendship Games (Russian: Всемирные игры дружбы 2024, Vsemirnye igry druzhby 2024) is a planned international multi-sport event, which was expected to be held in Moscow and Yekaterinburg, Russia from 15 to 29 September 2024. Unlike the Olympic Games, where athletes only compete for medals, athletes at the World Friendship Games will be rewarded with monetary awards in addition to receiving medals.[1] In July 2024, it was announced that the World Friendship Games would be postponed to an unknown date in 2025.[2] In August 2024, the games were postponed again to either late 2025 or 2026.[3]
