The government has allocated 1.1 billion tenge for the construction of a sports complex in the village of Zhalagash, Kegen District, Almaty Region. This project is being implemented under the framework of the Law on the Return of Illegally Acquired Assets to the State.
According to Primeminister.kz, funds from the Special State Fund, as directed by the President, are being utilized to build socially significant facilities in various regions.
The new sports complex will be designed for physical training and competitive events. It will feature multiple halls for boxing, wrestling, and other sports.
In 2024, a total of 90 sports and fitness centers were constructed across Kazakhstan, with most located in rural areas. Additionally, the government has launched a program to conduct a large-scale inventory of sports infrastructure by the end of 2025. This initiative includes plans to build 113 new facilities and renovate 26 existing ones.
So far, approximately 50.6 billion tenge from the Special State Fund has been allocated for the construction of socially important facilities. These include four schools (one of which is a music school), a sports complex, a multi-functional hospital, a dormitory, and two kindergartens.
Furthermore, funds from the entities subject to the Law on the Return of Illegally Acquired Assets are being used to develop social infrastructure projects in cities such as Arkalyk, Astana, and Almaty.
The work is ongoing.
