By 2027, another 108 sports facilities are planned, including approximately 60 sports complexes, with 47 of these facilities (including the reconstruction of Torpedo Stadium) scheduled for completion in 2026.
In addition, a program to renovate existing sports facilities is being implemented. This includes over 150 sports complexes built in previous years. These are obsolete and in need of technical upgrades. Renovations of 34 facilities have already been completed. Plans call for completion of 20 more sports complexes by 2026.
South Butovo District
Yuzhnoye Butovo is one of Moscow's largest districts, home to over 180,000 people. Its landmarks include the eponymous landscape park, the historic Chernevo estate with its cascade of ponds and the Church of the Nativity of Christ, and a monument to Admiral Fyodor Ushakov. The district is also home to numerous memorials dedicated to the heroes of the Great Patriotic War.
In recent years, much has been done in Yuzhnoye Butovo to improve the quality of life for local residents. Most of the activities were implemented as part of the "My District" program, developed at the initiative of Sergei Sobyanin.
An overground metro line runs here: the Butovo station of the second Moscow Central Diameter (MCD-2) receives passengers.
"The largest road transport project is the construction of the Solntsevo-Butovo-Varshavskoye Shosse highway, which will provide a cross-connection between the New Moscow and South-Western Administrative Okrugs. We are already working on the final section of the highway," the Moscow Mayor noted.
