India plans to host the 2021 BRICS Games which will be paired with next year`s Khelo India Games. This announcement came after sports minister Kiren Rijiju attended a meeting of the BRICS nations` sports ministers (Brazil, Russia, India , China and South Africa). In 2021, India will be given the chairmanship of the international independent group of five nations.

 

The BRICS Games 2021 will be played concurrently and at the same venues as the Khelo India Games 2021, so that our players from different parts of the world who will be gathering for the Khelo India Games will be able to see BRICS Games from near quarters.
