The Master Control Room at the IBC is ready for the Universiade
ERZURUM – The fever is rising in Erzurum, host city of the 25th Winter Universiade. With five days left to countdown before the Games kick-off with the Opening Ceremony, the city is buzzing with activity. Rehearsals are everywhere, as the Organizing Committee wants these Games to be picture perfect.
