Popularization of sports in Georgia – achievements of the Sports, Tourism and Youth Foundation in 2023

In the past 2023, the International Foundation for Sport, Tourism and Youth has successfully organized more than 50 sports events aimed at promoting a healthy lifestyle in Georgia, according to the foundation's press service. Within the framework of cooperation with partner companies, the fund has invested more than GEL 5 million in these events.

A significant achievement is the creation of several sports grounds with the support of the foundation. One of the main venues was the Arena sports complex, where an ice rink, a boxing hall and a shooting range were installed. This significantly contributed to the development of sports infrastructure and provided opportunities for various categories of citizens to play sports.

However, the foundation's activities were not limited to sports events only. An important area of his activity was the integration of adolescents with special needs into sports. In addition, a tournament was held in penitentiary institutions, which contributed to the development of sports skills and spiritual growth of participants. The fund's important assistance to state and sports schools in the regions with the necessary sports equipment is also noted.

The Foundation also contributed to increasing the accessibility of sports for children from 5 to 10 years of age from socially vulnerable families in Tbilisi. They had the opportunity to take special swimming courses for free, organized with the assistance of the foundation. The duration of the program was 10 days, during which professional trainers worked with the children. After completing the course, the experts themselves selected the participants of the program, who will be provided with additional training in the field of physical fitness. Only about a thousand children were able to use this program.

The foundation's future plans for 2024 are focused on holding a Georgian sports festival, which will be held in one of the country's regions. Details of this event will be announced early next year. This event is expected with great interest by both sports enthusiasts and the general public, as it will be an excellent opportunity to promote Georgian sports and its traditions.
