Crotone – 19 sports facilities in the city, some regenerated and others new. Several neighborhoods in the city of Crotone will be redeveloped through sport, a vehicle for social inclusion.
There will be eight interventions, which become 19 playing fields for multiple disciplines: five 5-a-side football pitches, one 7-a-side football pitch, a 11-a-side football field, 4 tennis courts, three basketball courts, a volleyball court, a handball court, an athletics facility (throws: javelin, shot put, discus, vortex) and two bowling greens.
These are the numbers that were presented this morning in the Council Chamber and which mark the start of work on further sports facilities in the city’s neighborhoods. Presenting the program were Mayor Voce, the councilor for Sports Facilities Luca Bossi, the councilor for Urban Planning Giovanni Greco and the sector manager Clara Caroli.
“There are no Serie A and Serie B neighborhoods just as there are no Serie A or Serie B sports and we believe it is appropriate that every neighborhood can have spaces where you can play sports, spaces dedicated to children, young people, to all those who want to dedicate themselves to various sports disciplines. This program is part of the broader activity that has been implemented with the PNRR and which affects the entire city. We have already implemented interventions worth over 33,400,000 euros” said the mayor Voice.
