Anoushirvani: Sports Infrastructure Has Not Kept Pace with Urban Development

Bojnourd – The head of the Weightlifting Federation criticized the lack of alignment between urban expansion and sports infrastructure, pointing to the growth of cities.

According to Mehr reporter, Sajjad Anoushirwani, in a meeting with the governor of North Khorasan, which was held in the meeting hall of the governorate of North Khorasan, on Wednesday afternoon, referring to the country's limited financial resources for providing sports infrastructure, stated: providing sports infrastructure is not compatible with current budgets, and the way to save sports is to develop infrastructures that have not been created in a real and practical way; However, there are limited facilities in some areas.

The head of the Weightlifting Federation emphasized the necessity of changing the approach in the construction of sports spaces and added: "To save championship sports, we must move towards creating halls with smaller size and light structures, so that with the available resources, it is possible to develop sports spaces and provide athletes with more access to facilities."

Anoushirvani considered one of the basic problems of the country's sports to be the development of cities without the appropriate expansion of sports infrastructure and clarified: the base and space of the cities have become larger, but the sports infrastructure has not changed in accordance with this development; An issue that doubles the necessity of planning to create sports spaces that suit the needs of different regions.

Referring to the position of weightlifting in the country's sports, he said: weightlifting is the second most proud sport in the country, and wherever a suitable platform for sports is provided, the origin of this sport has also been formed. Therefore, paying attention to the infrastructure can provide the basis for identifying talents and nurturing future heroes.

In the end, the head of the Weightlifting Federation, appreciating the supportive approach of the governor of North Khorasan, mentioned Bahman Nouri as a capable manager and considered his special attention to sports as a factor for strengthening motivation and creating new dynamics in sports in the province.
