Earlier this month, Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Dmitry Chernyshenko announced that the second state information system (GIS), Physical Culture and Sport (FKiS), had been put into commercial operation on the Gostech platform.

According to him, this system was developed exclusively on a platform of Russian components with the use of necessary information security measures.

“The state information system 'Physical Culture and Sport' was created on the basis of domestic digital solutions. This is a convenient tool for managing the sports industry, designed to combine services for everyone who is involved in sports — this is more than 65 million people. Sports institutions will have the opportunity to use it for free, providing services to citizens. At the moment, a service for assigning titles and categories to athletes is already available in the system, a single calendar plan of sports events is posted. Subjects, sports federations and schools have started registering and posting information on the platform," he said.

“We are living in a time of global digital transformation. To move forward confidently, it is necessary to improve our literacy in this area and use all its advantages. Digital technologies create conditions for improving the quality of people's lives, and the sports sphere must keep up with the times. GIS FKiS aims to improve the efficiency of public administration in the field of physical culture and sports. The system forms modern mechanisms of interaction between all representatives of the industry," Matytsin said.
