There were two candidates to host the event.
«Given the difficult economic situation in Italy and the high financial obligations to the International Federation for the moment, the Council of the Autonomous Province of Trento sees no possibility to raise funds for the 2017 Winter Universiade in and therefore removed the candidature of the province.»
Later Trentino was invited to host the 2013 Winter Universiade, after Maribor withdrew to host the event,as the province didn't even need to build a specific competition venue for the event and the candidacy had an excellent technical level.
Formal decision on the Winter Universiade at the city was taken on a vote of the International University Sports Federation (FISU) on November 29, 2011, which was held in Brussels (Belgium).
Thus, due to the lack of competitors, Almaty was acclaimed the host city of the 28th Winter Universiade in 2017.
As the FISU regulations determine, the Organizing Committee of each edition can choose up to 3 optional sports for each edition and the Almaty 2017 Organizing Committee chose: Nordic combined, ski jumping and speed skating.
