Government to consider establishing National Agency for Sport

Education Minister Robert Plaga is to present the government with a proposal for the establishment of a National Agency for Sport, the ctk news agency reported.

The country’s over 7,500 sports associations have been clamoring for an agency that would register their needs and improve their financing.

Most of these clubs lack the necessary finances to recruit and coach children. Sports stadiums and local gyms, the average age of which is close to half a century, are also in dire need of maintenance.
