The 32nd FISU Summer World University Games (Universiade), also known as Ekaterinburg 2023, were slated to take place from August 8 to August 19 in Yekaterinburg, Russia.


Due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the games were postponed in 2022, and FISU decided that Yekaterinburg would not host the tournament. Chengdu, a city in China, would host in 2023 rather than 2021 as originally planned. Russian authorities declared they would host the inaugural University International Sports Festival in place of the suspended 2023 Summer World University Games.


The Summer Universiade, which is currently taking place, has university students from all over the world showing their athletic abilities. Olympic shooter Manu Bhaker and top hurdler Jyothi Yarraji are leading India's 227-person squad.
