The games will be broadcast for sure in 117 countries of the world. This is a serious media event,” Anatoly Kotov said. He believes that more countries will want to broadcast the event. “We and the company that sells media rights aspire to increase the number of broadcasters up to 160 territories. After all, this is a not some regional, European event, but the event of a global scale,” he emphasized.

As for an estimated number of foreign fans coming to Belarus, MEGOC believes that most of them will arrive from the neighboring states of Russia, Ukraine and Poland.
