Two stadiums were set up in the centre of the villages of Mostove and Sukha Balka of the Mostivska rural amalgamated hromada of the Mykolayiv Oblast in the framework of the Youth Project of the USAID DOBRE Programme.

The idea to arrange stadiums arose during a youth forum in Mykolayiv. The project was initiated by the Youth Council. The total budget of facilities’ renovation makes up UAH 545.6 thousand, of which the hromada’s contribution is UAH 263.8 thousand, while the co-financing of the DOBRE Programme amounts to UAH 281.8 thousand.

The purpose of the project is to create conditions for the development of physical culture of the population, sports and active recreation for pupils and AH residents in general. The USAID DOBRE Programme contributed to installation of tribunes, lockers, garbage bins, illumination and surveillance cameras.

The AH youth took an active part in the implementation of their project – they cleaned up the territory, digged, painted and prepared an opening programme.

On 17 July, the renovated stadium was opened with a solemn ceremony in the village of Mostove. The event in Sukha Balka is scheduled for 25 August.
