It is planned to involve 37 catering facilities to provide meals for more than 8000 participants and volunteers. These include school and college canteens, NEFU facilities, and restaurants.
The sports delegations will be served three hot meals daily in the Athletes Village. The menu is designed with the account of daily average energy value and nutrition standards of athletes and possibility of choosing a variety of dishes that meet all special requirements. The selection of hot meals on the menu changes every day, with a repetition period of once every seven days.
At the catering facilities of foreign teams the menu is formed with consideration of the national and religious backgrounds of representatives of the participating countries.
The volunteers are divided into two categories: those residing in the city and those from other cities. The volunteers from other cities that arrive in the host city and reside in the Athletes Village will be provided with three hot meals. The volunteers residing in the city will have two hot meals.
