Volga Region State University of Physical Culture, Sport and Tourism

In 1974, a branch of the Volgograd State Physical Education Academy was established in Kazan. 12 years later, the branch was transferred to Naberezhnye Chelny, and in 1997, the Kama State Institute of Physical Culture was founded on this basis. In 2006, the institute was achieved the status of academy — it was renamed the Kama State Academy of Physical Culture, Sports and Tourism. In July 2010, the academy was transferred to Kazan by the Ministry of Sports of the Russian Federation and renamed the Volga State Academy of Physical Culture, Sports and Tourism. The branch in Naberezhnye Chelny was preserved. In March 2021, it was achieved the status of a university.
