Acba bank, in collaboration with “Hayastan” All-Armenian Fund, and Goris Municipality, introduced a sports ground meeting all modern standards in the "Victory" park of Goris city.

The sports ground features the latest workout equipment, including UN Sustainable Development Goals adaptations for people in wheelchairs, aligning with the 3rd (Good Health and Well-Being) and the 10th (Reduced Inequalities) goals.

The Federation of Street Workout was chosen as the partner for the design and construction of the sports ground.

The program was implemented with funds generated from non-cash payments made by the Visa Barerar cardholders of Acba bank, which the bank directs from its own funds to a special account of the “Hayastan” All-Armenian Fund to implement sustainable and socially beneficial programs for society.

“We decided to build sports ground in Gyumri (Shirak province), Spitak (Lori province), and Goris (Syunik province). This ground is the largest, as it includes both football and basketball courts.

Supporting balanced community development is a priority for Acba bank, and corporate social responsibility programs play a key role in achieving this goal. These sports ground will provide a permanent space for anyone in these communities who wants to stay active, train, and inspire others to embrace a healthy lifestyle,” noted Narek Asatryan, Head of Public Relations Department at Acba bank OJSC.

“Young boys and girls in the community are interested in leading a healthy lifestyle and becoming physically strong and resilient. Initiatives like this are important to ensure that the youth living near the border grow up healthy in both body and spirit,” said Irina Yolyan, Deputy Mayor of Goris.

“Such sports grounds play an educational role in the lives of children and young people. It is very important for every child and young person to have access to sports from an early age. Large sports facilities like this not only promote physical activity but also offer a place for healthy recreation,” said Artur Harutyunyan, President of the Street Workout Federation.
