Discussion emerges on the plans for building sports facilities in Sochi
==============================================================
In a recent meeting, the construction of new sports complexes in Sochi, Russia, was discussed. The gathering, chaired by Krasnodar Krai Legislative Assembly deputy Victor Tepliakov, gathered Evgeny Chebotarev, the city's deputy head, and representatives from relevant city administration departments.
According to the press service of deputy ZSK Victor Tepliakov, the key task facing the municipality is developing sports infrastructure. Tepliakov emphasized the need for new, modern, multifunctional centers in Sochi. The possibility of proposing these sports facilities to Sochi Mayor Andrey Proshunin for inclusion in the existing territorial development program was also discussed.
The construction of these sports complexes aims to ensure equal access to physical culture activities for all residents of Sochi. Sites for future sports complexes have been reserved, although no further information about the number, location, or type of sports complexes was provided.
It is planned that six of the nine sports complexes will be commissioned by 2030. The preparation of project documentation for the sports complexes is set to begin soon. The existing territorial development program may be extended to include future sports facilities, which could strengthen control over the implementation of projects.
As of August 2025, there is limited direct information from recent sources about new sports complex constructions specifically underway or planned in Sochi. Sochi Park and Olympic Park continue to serve as major sports and recreational venues within Sochi, featuring world-class infrastructure built for the 2014 Winter Olympics. The Sirius Autodrom, a prominent motorsport facility in Sochi Olympic Park, continues operation with no recent reports of major new construction phases.
Broader sporting event preparations, such as for international games like the Winter Olympics in Italy 2026, are proceeding on schedule elsewhere but no specific link to new Sochi sports complex constructions appears in the available data.
If further details become available, they would likely be published by regional development authorities or the Russian Ministry of Sport. As of now, no verified plans or progress reports for new sports complexes in Sochi exist in the reviewed sources. The construction of these sports complexes is included in the list of priority areas for the 2026-2028 Krasnodar Krai budget project.
The key task for the municipality is developing sports infrastructure in Sochi, which includes the construction of new sports complexes. The future sports complexes aim to ensure equal access to physical culture activities for all residents of Sochi.
