Çiğli Atatürk Indoor Sports Hall Reopens with Renewed Face

The Çiğli Atatürk Indoor Sports Hall has officially reopened its doors following a comprehensive renovation project undertaken by the Çiğli Municipality. Teams worked diligently, including through the recent holiday period, to ensure the facility could resume operations swiftly.

“

We are resolutely continuing our work to ensure our children and youth in Çiğli can play sports in better conditions. We have completely renewed the worn-out floor of the Atatürk Indoor Sports Hall, making it modern and safe. Our teams worked day and night to make this area ready for service again in a short time.

The renovation included the complete removal of the old flooring and the installation of a new surface designed to meet modern standards and prioritize athlete health, particularly knee safety. Beyond the main hall, preparations are underway to add padel courts in the garden, allowing for year-round tennis play. Additionally, covered waiting areas are being constructed to provide a more comfortable environment for parents.

The Çiğli Municipality's Youth and Sports Services Directorate is also focusing on specialized training. Coaches are completing a Special Education Certificate Course to offer more qualified instruction to individuals with special needs. This initiative aims to strengthen the inclusive aspect of sports, ensuring equal opportunities for all to participate.

With our new floor suitable for athlete health, we have minimized the risk of injury for our youth. Thanks to the padel courts being prepared in our garden, our athletes will be able to train in different branches throughout the year. Our work on covered waiting areas for our parents is also continuing; thus, families will be able to wait for their children in a more comfortable environment.

Çiğli Mayor Onur Emrah Yıldız inspected the completed work and interacted with young athletes. He emphasized the municipality's commitment to investing in the future of children and youth, highlighting that improved sports facilities and inclusive training programs are key priorities. Yıldız expressed his hope that the renovated hall will benefit all athletes.

Furthermore, our Youth and Sports Services Directorate is completing the Special Education Certificate Course to provide training to individuals with special needs with our coaches serving in 18 branches. In this way, we will strengthen the inclusive aspect of sports and ensure that every individual can play sports under equal conditions. We will continue to invest in the future of our children and youth. I wish the renovated hall to be beneficial for all our athletes.
