2013 Alliance Summer Games

The 2013 Alliance Summer Games officially known as the VI Alliance Summer Games, were a scheduled major internationalmulti-sport event for the Alliance of Independent Nations. It is the only Alliance Games to be cancelled due to a lack of interest and no bids completed. This called into question the recent lack of interest of participation of AIN nations in the summer of 2013 and eventually lead to large reforms for the proceeding games, the 2014 Alliance Games.
