Today, District Akim Zhandos Erkinbek held a ceremonial reception to honor the pride of the district — athletes who achieved outstanding results at international and national competitions in combat sambo and Kazakh wrestling.

From September 18 to 22 of this year, the World Cup in combat sambo among adults was held in Dushanbe, Republic of Tajikistan, and the national “Ak Biday” tournament in Kazakh wrestling took place in Ushkonyr village, Almaty region. Our local athletes proudly represented the country and raised the district’s prestige by taking top places on the podium.

At the event, organized to foster youth interest in sports, Zhandos Erkinbek stated:

“You serve as role models for young people through your hard work, enhance the prestige of sports in our society, and make a significant contribution to strengthening the national spirit. Every one of your achievements is clear evidence of the systematic work carried out in our district. We will continue to strengthen efforts to develop sports infrastructure and support mass sports,” he emphasized.

During the ceremony, the winning athletes received Letters of Appreciation and commemorative gifts on behalf of the district akim. The “Golden Autumn – 2025” district sports festival was also concluded, and the victorious teams were honored.

Speeches were delivered by the Chairman of the District Maslikhat Adil Koshalakov, Chairman of the Veterans Council Askar Merekov, and sports veteran Erkin Atabayev, who shared their heartfelt congratulations and words of encouragement with the athletes.

It is worth noting that over the past two years, three new fitness and wellness centers have been opened in the district, along with four children’s playgrounds and modern sports grounds — an important step in promoting a healthy lifestyle.
