With 70 of 71 votes for and without a vote against, the National Assembly of Slovenia approved the proposal of the Slovenian University Sports Association to start the procedure for the organisation of the 2011 Winter Universiade in Maribor.
Prior to that, the proposal already got support of the President of the Republic of Slovenia, the Government of the Republic Slovenia, the Olympic Committee of Slovenia, the City Council of Maribor, the Slovenian Student Union and all the Slovenian Universities. The day after the decision of the Parliament, the Slovenian University Sports Association officially informed the International University Sports Federation (FISU) on bidding for the organisation of the 2011 World University Winter Games.
