He added that they will continue working on the improvement of trainers and technicians, and praised the work with sports glories and our athletes".

According to the director, as part of the "50th Anniversary Day", the signing of several collaboration agreements with personalities from 14 universities from 10 invited countries is scheduled for October 3.
