Abstract
The principles and approaches to the medical support of international sports competitions developed on the model at the XXVII World Summer Universiade 2013, which were applied at the matches of the 2018 FIFA World Cup held in Kazan (Championship), are presented. A set of adapted measures was implemented to organize medical care, legal and resource support for competitions, and medical and sanitary measures in case of emergencies.
During the Championship, 2306 requests for medical assistance were recorded, including 236 requests from children. The proportion of injuries was 22.4%. In the structure of appeals for diseases, a significant share fell on diseases of the nervous system (23.1%), diseases of the respiratory system (20.2%), skin diseases (17.8%), diseases of the digestive system (12.6%). The largest number of requests was observed among viewers — 1346 cases or 58.4% of the total number of requests for medical assistance. The data obtained are of practical importance for international sporting events.
