In his address, Edil Baisalov noted that the creation of a specialized agency has allowed for effective resource management and improved organization in the sports sector.
“State support for sports continues to grow, and in 2025, funding will reach nearly 2.6 billion soms, while in 2020 this amount was about 800 million soms. This confirms the trust of the authorities in the sports sector and our responsibility to athletes,” he added.
