Construction has begun on a 45,000-seat stadium in Bishkek. Chairman of the State Council for National Security (SCNS) Kamchybek Tashiev announced today.
According to him, a stadium of this size is the first to be built in the country since independence.
«Construction work has been actively underway here since spring. The stadium is designed to seat 45,000 people. It is built to FIFA standards. Architects from Türkiye and the UK were involved in the construction. They control the work. Ninety percent of the builders are Kyrgyz. A special camp has been built for 500 builders,” said Kamchybek Tashiev.
Construction of the stadium is expected to be completed within two years. According to preliminary estimates, it will cost $60 million.
“We are not just building this stadium. In accordance with the president’s instructions, it is planned to resume work and restore all large sports venues in the country starting this year,” the SCNS chief said.
He added that there are plans to rehabilitate 12 stadiums and build two new ones by the end of autumn.
Previously, Minister of Presidential Affairs Kanibek Tumanbayev said that a 45,000-seat stadium will be built in Bishkek. He posted sketches of the new sports facilities on social media. According to the project, the architectural design is consistent with national values and resembles Kyrgyz yurts. According to Kanibek Tumanbayev, the plan is personally controlled by Kamchibek Tashiyev, chairman of the Kyrgyz national team and chairman of the Football Association of the Kyrgyz Republic.
