Shavkat Mirziyoyev says Uzbekistan develop a long-term plan to host Asian Games

“In order to increase the popularity of sports among younger generation, the number of children's and youth sports schools will be increased in the most remote areas.”

“Another important issue is the creation of an effective system to grow world-class athletes in winter sports in our country.”

“In this way, Humo Ice Palace is being built in the capital, as well as a modern complex, recently launched in the Amirsoy recreation place in Tashkent region will be the most important factor to improve quality of winter sports in Uzbekistan.”

“Unfortunately, Uzbekistan has never hosted prestigious sports events such as Olympics or Asian Games yet. Therefore, we should start developing a long-term plan to host one of the Asian Games.”
