"I believe that the children we see here today will adequately represent our country in various international arenas." SAport24.az reports that this was stated by Minister of Youth and Sports Farid Gayibov in his statement to journalists after the opening ceremony of "Gabala - Sports Capital 2025".
He stated that the participation of a large number of children in the event is the result of the joint work of various institutions: "Last year, Guba was our Sports Capital. Guba adequately coped with this task. Various local and international sports events were held there throughout the year. As a result, more people in that region started to engage in sports. I think we will see the same result in Gabala this year. Federations are planning to hold competitions here."
According to Gayibov, the selection of Gabala as the "Youth Capital" for the CIS Games in 2025 is an important event: "The most important event in the world of sports this year is the organization of the CIS Games in our country. Gabala is also a part of these Games. The Organizing Committee is already holding meetings, and relevant work is underway. We will send out invitations this week. In addition to the CIS countries, there will be other guests at the event. I believe that by the end of the year we will witness more people being involved in sports in Gabala."
It should be noted that at the meeting of the Council for Youth Affairs of the CIS member states held in Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan, the city of Gabala was selected as the Youth Capital of the CIS for 2025.
