Based on the assessment of AECS Europe, Tbilisi has been named European Capital of Sport 2025, – Tbilisi Mayor Kakha Kaladze announced at Thursday’s session of the municipal government.
He claimed that, in recent years, together with the Football Federation, many projects in the direction of sports have been implemented in the capital city.
“I want to give you some happy news: Tbilisi has a new status – European Capital of Sport 2025. We applied for this status for the first time, knowing we deserved it, but the decision of AECS Europe, coming after the presentation of the candidates, to name Tbilisi as the European Capital of Sport 2025, came as a pleasant surprise,” Kaladze noted.
The mayor of the capital noted that this status is proof of the correctness of the policy pursued by the municipal government in the direction of sports.
“In recent years, a lot has been done in the direction of sports in the capital. I would like to thank the Football Federation for its cooperation. Many football schools of European standards have been organized in Tbilisi; in recreational spaces, we pay special attention to the arrangement of sports spaces and training zones, so that representatives of all generations have the opportunity to train.
“Within the framework of the project, our delegation will go to Brussels, where the programs to be implemented in 2025 will be agreed on,” Kaladze concluded.
