Lukashenko to inspect renovated Traktor Stadium in Minsk

MINSK, 14 November (BelTA)- Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko will inspect the renovated Traktor Stadium and the surrounding infrastructure on 14 November, BelTA has learned. 

The head of state was invited to visit this facility, along with the Park of the 50th Anniversary of Great October and the Rings of Glory gymnastics center as he opened a swimming pool in Minsk a week ago. Aleksandr Lukashenko accepted the invitation.

The head of state will be briefed about the Minsk sports infrastructure development and the reconstruction of the Traktor stadium. 

This facility was built in the 1950s and has undergone several reconstruction rounds since then. The last one was completed by 7 November of this year. Initially, it was planned as an international venue. But the plans were scaled back in connection with the construction of National Football Stadium, which is located nearby. Traktor Stadium is designed to host matches of Belarus’ football  premier league. 

The stadium features a natural turf field with four running tracks along it, and two artificial turf fields for mini-football. The stadium’s capacity exceeds 5,800 people.

The renovated stadium will be the home arena for the men's and women's teams of the Minsk football club. Its infrastructure will be used by the club’s sports school. The stadium will also be open to the city residents. Plans are also in place for a youth creative space to open within the stadium grounds and become a center of attraction for the BRSM Youth Union activists.

In close proximity to Tractor Stadium is the October Revolution's 50th Anniversary Park , which has also been reconstructed this year. Particular attention during the renovation of the park was paid to physical fitness facilities: courts for volleyball and mini-football, zones for streetball and skateboarding as well as workout areas featuring outdoor fitness equipment.

Nearby there is the Rings of Glory sports center for the students of the specialized children's and youth school of Olympic reserve for artistic gymnastics and acrobatics.
