In line with the President’s directive, outlined at the IV session of the National Kurultay, important initiatives are being implemented in the region today.
A football field has been renovated in Aktobe under the ALAN project at the expense of extra-budgetary funds. A modern mini football field has been opened in Khromtau district under the FIFA ARENA program.
“In addition, the construction of a unique sports complex for people with disabilities is nearing completion, where training in 25 types of sports is planned.
