In an area of 40 thousand square meters, with a closed area of over 20 thousand square meters, 15 sports facilities can be built at the same time. We are building Turkey's largest athlete center, where our children can do sports in 15 different branches at the same time, from swimming to basketball, taekwondo, judo, table tennis, wrestling, football, gymnastics and athletics. Hopefully, next year we will bring this center to the service of our youth, children and athletes. Our goal in Konya is to train athletes for the Olympics. I hope that this goal will be achieved and together with our club, our coaches, our sports directorate, our youth and our families, together with our federations, we will hopefully train our athletes from Konya to the Olympics,” he said.
