Measures aimed at strengthening physical culture and increasing the level of public involvement in sports activities are being consistently implemented in Kostanay region. Sport is considered here as an essential component of social development and well-being. Conditions are being created in the region that allow residents, regardless of age and place of residence, to engage in an active and healthy daily life.

According to our latest data, more than 380 thousand people in the region regularly play sports. This is about 45.5% of the population, which is a serious indicator demonstrating a steady interest in sports. I am particularly pleased that this interest is gradually embracing not only urban but also rural areas.

One of the main areas of work remains the development of sports infrastructure. In 2025 alone, four new facilities were put into operation in the region: an indoor hockey court in the Mendykarinsky district, a sports and recreation complex in the Sarykolsky district, as well as two modern FOCa in the city of Rudny - Sokol and Sarybai, each of which is designed for hundreds of visitors. All facilities are designed with inclusivity and universal access in mind in order to reach as many residents as possible.

Special attention is paid to young people and schoolchildren.
Various competitions are held between young people. To date, such large-scale sporting events as the 38th Regional Spartakiad, the Regional Kazak Kures tournament "Kazakhstan Kyrany - 2025" dedicated to Constitution Day and others have been held. Also, our guys always show good results among thousands of participants in regional, national and international competitions. This shows that our coaches are also trying to contribute to the development of sports in the region.

National sports have been prioritized along with Olympic sports.
In recent years, national sports have been showing dynamic development. Kokpar, asyk ata, kazaksha kures, togyzkumalak, audarispak, at sports boyynsha baige turleri, and other traditional sports are actively developing in Kostanay region. Various competitions are also often held. About 15 competitions have been held in a month, where our guys showed good results. These sports are becoming an important part of the cultural identity of the region, and the interest of young people in them is increasing every day.
