Construction of sports school kicks off in Zerendi

The construction of a children’s and youth sports school has begun in Zerendi, the Akmola region. This is one of the first projects in the country to be implemented using returned assets, following the instruction of President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev. The project’s cost exceeds two billion tenge, and the school will cover an area of over 6,000 square meters. It will be equipped for wrestling, boxing, and skiing disciplines, and will house two gyms with the necessary equipment, allowing up to 80 people to train per session. The facility, which is scheduled for completion in December this year, will provide training in both summer and winter sports.

«We believe that with the new building of our sports school, we will be able to increase the number of athletes and coaches and introduce additional sports disciplines. Currently, we have 806 students and 25 coaches. At the old facility, we operated at the regional, national, and international levels, but now the goal is to train athletes for the Asian, World, and Olympic Games!» noted Kairbek Kalibayev, director of Zerendi specialized children’s and youth sports school.
