Governor of the Capital City and the Mayor of Ulaanbaatar S.Amarsaikhan made a decision to build a football field in each district and it is being successfully implemented. The construction of a football field and sports facilities, covering 1.8 hectares of land near the General Authority for Border Protection in the 4th khoroo of Bayanzurkh district has been completed and opened today.

The construction of the field was implemented by “Mongol Management Center” LLC. Within this framework, a 4.4-meter-wide, four-lane 450-meter jogging track, a 5,500-square-meter football field, an 880-square-meter basketball and volleyball court, an 84-meter-long 1.2-meter-wide walkway, and 1,155 square meters of sidewalks have been built. In addition, the sports field was built with spectator seats, shade, children's playgrounds, parking lots and restrooms, adding one more place for children and youth to visit.

The opening ceremony was attended by Governor of the Capital City and the Mayor of Ulaanbaatar S.Amarsaikhan Member of the Parliament B.Saranchimeg, Deputy Minister of Education, Culture, Science and Sports G.Ganbayar, General Manager of Ulaanbaatar and Head of the Mayor's Office T.Gantumur and athletes of the national football team.

Mayor S.Amarsaikhan first visited the site on May 9, 2019 which is more than a year ago and got acquainted with the situation and instructed relevant organizations including the Mayor's Office of Ulaanbaatar, the Land Management Department of the capital city, the City Planning and Development Department, and the Investment Department to urgently develop a design for the sports field, provide the necessary funds and start the construction work. Accordingly, the construction of a sports field was intensified since last autumn.

Mayor S.Amarsaikhan said, “As part of our people-centered policy, we have been building public parks, sports fields, bicycle paths etc. in stages by revoking the licenses for the land lots which have not been used properly, polluted the environment and most importantly, posed a risk to human life, health and property. Today, the construction work to transform this 1.8 hectares of area into a comprehensive sports field that meets international standards is being inaugurated. In the past, we have built parks in Chingeltei and Bayanzurkh districts and Central square. Currently, a park covering 3.8 hectares of land is being built at the foot of Bayankhoshuu Mountain, and green areas and winter sports arenas are under construction in Takhilt, Tsagdaa Tolgoi and Khan-Uul district. There are also plans to build more green areas and children’s playground in every corner of Ulaanbaatar. I would like to inform you that the park in the central square will be opened soon. In the past year, a total of 158 land lots have been reclaimed by the city for public use.”

Residents of the 4th khoroo of Bayanzurkh district expressed their gratitude to the Mayor and other officials for the construction of the football field and asked for more such places to be established in the future.
