City council approves plan for football academy at Zlaté piesky

Bratislava's city council has approved a plan to lease land near Zlaté piesky for the construction and operation of a youth football academy. This decision marks the first step toward developing a large-scale municipal sports complex in the area.

The planned academy will feature training fields, comprehensive sports facilities including changing rooms, regeneration and fitness areas, administrative spaces, dining facilities, spectator stands, and parking. City spokesperson Peter Bubla stated that the location has the potential to become a significant center for sports and recreational activities of municipal importance.

This project is expected to significantly enhance the attractiveness of the Zlaté piesky lake area and naturally expand the existing urban health complex. Funds generated from the land lease will be reinvested into further developing the Zlaté piesky Health Area. Additionally, the city will acquire training grounds currently used by TJ Rapid, which will then be provided to FK Inter Bratislava for youth football development after the new facilities are completed.
