This year, the capital's infrastructure will be expanded with 18 new sports facilities, which will open in six administrative districts: Severny, Severo-Vostochny, Troitsky, Novomoskovsky, Vostochny, Yuzhny, and Yuzhno-Zapadny. This was reported by Vladimir Efimov, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Urban Development Policy and Construction.

"The total area of the sports facilities will be approximately 214,000 square meters. The new buildings offer all the necessary facilities for group and individual exercise classes and swimming. The largest of the facilities under construction is the Central Arena of the E.A. Streltsov Sports Complex, with an area of 62,800 square meters. It will house training fields, stands, a children's club, a museum, retail pavilions, and other structures. It is being built in the Danilovsky District, south of the capital," said Vladimir Efimov.

The site previously housed the Eduard Streltsov Torpedo Stadium. It is currently undergoing major renovations, and a new stadium will be built on the same site.

Seventeen of the 18 facilities under construction are being financed through extra-budgetary sources. Modern sports infrastructure is now becoming a hub for social activity, where residents of all ages can engage in physical activity and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

"Investors are building both large city-scale sports facilities and district-scale fitness and wellness centers near residential developments, giving Muscovites the opportunity to exercise close to home. A large fitness center will be built in the Levoberezhny district. The five-story building, including a basement, will cover over six thousand square meters. It will feature three swimming pools for adults and children. In addition, several gyms, rooms for group programs, and studios for various activities will be opened here. The building's bright and colorful façade will be decorated with aluminum, porcelain stoneware, and stained glass," noted the Moscow Government Minister and Head of the Department of Urban Development Policy.
