From this moment on, the city of Krasnoyarsk officially became a bid city. The choice of the city was determined, first of all, by the desire and ability of the Krasnoyarsk Territory to host student games. The capital of the region is one of the student centers in the country, where the Siberian Federal University is located.

Krasnoyarsk's rival in the fight for the right to host the Winter Universiade 2019 was the Swiss Canton of Valais.

During the year, each candidate prepared an application dossier. On September 14, 2013, Krasnoyarsk submitted its application book to FISU headquarters and received candidate city status. The only competitor at this stage withdrew his candidacy.

On November 9, 2013, in Brussels, FISU members, by closed vote, chose Krasnoyarsk as the capital of the XXIX World Winter Universiade 2019.

Logo

The Universiade logo is based on the letter U, the initial letter in the word “Universiade”. The symbol is made in the form of a turned polyhedron ice block in the colors of the Russian flag. The colors are united by two principles: the severity of winters in Siberia and the kindness of Siberians.

The emblem also includes the name of the city, the year the Universiade was held and its name. The logo also includes 5 stars. Their colors correspond to the colors of the Olympic rings and the 5 continents.

Mascot

U-Laika became the mascot of the Universiade. The symbol was chosen by popular vote. Voters chose the future mascot from 3 options:

• Laika Yulaika (U-Laika);
• moose Yurok (YOU’r ok!);
• Ursik bear.

The image of the husky is associated with energy and friendliness, and is also strongly associated with Siberia. In addition, the name Yulaika (U-Laika) is reminiscent of the English word like, which is familiar and close to young people around the world.

Tagline

The slogan of the Universiade 2019 is REAL WINTER (“Real Winter”). The concept is based on a play on the words win and winter (“victory” and “winter”). Thus, the slogan not only invites you into winter, but also reminds you of the competitive moment.

Two additional slogans were also developed:

1. “Welcome to Winter” is a call for an invitation company. A variant of this is the abbreviation “W2W”.
2. "100% Winter" The text is used in combination with other slogans or as a patch on uniforms, workwear, etc.

Countdown clock

The clock in Krasnoyarsk became the unofficial symbol of the Universiade. The clock began counting down 1,000 days before the games began. On the scoreboard at any time you can see the exact amount of time remaining before the opening ceremony.
