Project ''ALAÑ'' is gaining momentum
The program is designed for three years and is supported by UEFA. The general partner of the project is 1XBET company.
As part of the project, 20 football fields in the country are planned to be renovated in 2023-2025. Last year, renovated football fields were renovated in Almaty, Shymkent, Aktobe and the Zhetysu region. As noted by the General Secretary of the Kazakhstan Football Federation Andrey Dudin, the main goal of the project is not just to make football accessible to everyone, but also safe.
“Our task is to build standards for the construction of football fields in such a way that it is, first of all, safe. We must create a safe environment. If the training cycle of a young football player is 8-10 years, then we must create such conditions so that after 8 years he is physically ready to continue his professional career,” the KFF General Secretary Andrey Dudin said in the release of the YouTube podcast “DNA of Football”.
Meanwhile, on August 26, a grand opening of a new football field took place at the ''Dynamo'' stadium in Petropavl. By the end of the year, it is planned to renovate football fields in the cities of Ayagoz, Ust-Kamenogorsk, Aksu, Atbasar, Qyzylorda, Balkhash, Zhezkazgan and Saran.
“The quality of the turf is very important. We are holding a competition, purchasing directly from the manufacturer. Famous European brands are participating in our project. I can firmly say that there is no better quality of fields than on our project in Kazakhstan. No professional football club has a better turf,” the head of the project Sergey Popov added.
