Today, the leaders of the Eurasian Economic Union five States approved the Main Directions of Economic Cooperation in Sports. The document, envisaged in the Strategy for Developing Eurasian Economic Integration until 2025, defines the main cooperation directions: the development of sports infrastructure, increased production of sports goods and their exchange, the development of sports industry services, including sports tourism, as well as the organization of joint forums and exhibitions.

The geographical proximity of the Five countries and developed sports infrastructure are highlighted as the main factors of economic cooperation.

"Together, these factors create a favorable basis for synergy and enhanced integration processes. Jointly, we will be able to provide citizens of the Union with quality sports products, develop sports infrastructure and bring economic cooperation in the field of sports to a new level," commented Bakhyt Sultanov, Minister in charge Economy and Financial Policy of the Eurasian Economic Commission.
