The government initiative aims the development of 30 technical stadiums and eight full-scale stadiums across the country to strengthen both grassroots and professional sports. Kobakhidze stated that the project is designed to ensure balanced access to modern sports facilities in all regions.
Under the program, technical stadiums will be gradually introduced in every municipality while eight cities will receive large-scale stadiums capable of hosting professional competitions.
