Erzurum is hosting WU 2011
At the end of the week a delegation from the city of Maribor will travel to the closing ceremony and the final part of the Universiade in Erzurum. The delegation will be led by the Vice Mayor, mag. Tomaž Kancler and the president of the Organizing Committee, Mr. Tone Vogrinec. They will take the Universiade flag on the closing ceremony on behalf of Slovenia and Maribor. The ceremonial is exactly prescribed and is similar to the one on the Olympic Games. At the end of the closing ceremony, the flag of the Universiade is lowered and the representatives of the next Universiade take the flag by a solemn way. According to the information from Erzurum, the stadium for the closing ceremony is completely sold out and 25000 spectators will watch the event live. The organizers of the Universiade in Erzurum are grandly flirting with the idea, that they could even announce the candidature to organize Winter Olympic Games in the future.
