'''Winter Universiade 2017''', the XXVIII Winter [[Universiade]], is a multi-sport winter event which took place in [[Almaty]], [[Kazakhstan]] in January and February 2017. On 29 November 2011, [[International University Sports Federation|FISU]] announced that Winter Universiade 2017 would be hosted in Almaty.<ref>[http://en.tengrinews.kz/politics_sub/5912/ Almaty officially announced capital of Winter Universiade-2017]. tengrinews.kz ()</ref>

Student-athletes from all over the world between the ages of 17 and 28 arrived in Almaty to take part in Winter Universiade organized by FISU.<ref name=Universiade>{{cite web|title=Universiade History|url=http://almaty2017.com/en/universiade/history-of-universiade.html|website=almaty2017.com}}</ref>

==Host selection==
There were two candidates to host the event.

* [[Almaty]]. This is the third time that a former soviet country has hosted the Winter Universiade. Russia hosted two times the Summer Universiade – Moscow (1973), Kazan (2013) and will host the Winter Universiade two years later in [[Krasnoyarsk]].
* [[Trentino]], Italy. Until 2011, Italy hosted the Universiade 9 times (4 Summer Universiades and 5 Winter Universiades). A week before the announcement of results of the bidding campaign, in connection with the economic crisis, the Italian government decided to withdraw its candidacy.

«Given the difficult economic situation in Italy and the high financial obligations to the International Federation for the moment, the Council of the Autonomous Province of Trento sees no possibility to raise funds for the Universiade in 2017 and therefore removes the candidature of the city.»

Later [[Trentino]] was invited to host the [[2013 Winter Universiade]], after [[Maribor]] withdrew to host the event.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.fisu.net/en/FISU-moves-2013-Winter-Universiade-away-from-Maribor-to-Trentino-to-safeguard-the-26th-Edition-2644.html?idProduit=2180|title=NEWS|website=www.fisu.net|access-date=2016-12-10}}</ref>

Formal decision on the Universiade in Almaty was taken on a vote of the [http://www.fisu.net/en/International-university-sports-federation-3137.html International University Sports Federation (FISU)] on November 29, 2011, which was held in Brussels (Belgium).

Thus, due to the lack of competitors, Almaty was declared the host city of the 28th Winter Universiade in 2017.

==Venues==

===Almaty===
Earlier it was reported that Kazakhstan would spend $950 million on Winter Universiade 2017. An Ice Palace, two ice rinks, an Athletic Village and international airport terminal and many more other sport and non-sport [[:ru:Спортивные объекты Зимней Универсиады 2017|venues]] were to be built in Almaty for the event. The cost is considered small, and it is because some of the objects had already been built for the [[2011 Asian Winter Games|7th Asian Winter Games]],<ref>[http://en.olympic.cn/games/asian/2011-02-11/2125071.html Asian Winter Games] at Olympic.cn, see Sports arenas Asian Winter Games in 2011</ref> part of the competition which also took place in Almaty, and certain existing and remodeled venues. Kazakhstan chose bandy, ski jumping, Nordic combined, freestyle skiing and speed skating as optional sports, with bandy being in the form of demonstration. However, after tightening the budget, bandy was removed.
