The Minsk Region Promotes a Healthy Lifestyle
The Minsk Region Promotes a Healthy Lifestyle
Tourists visiting our country pay attention to ex-isting sports facilities and those that are still under construction. It seems that life in the Belarusian capital is most interesting and eventful, at least as far as sport is concerned. The Sports Palace, the Tennis Palace, the Football Manège, the Ice Pal-ace, numerous skating rinks, a ski- and roller-track, stadiums and what not… This is how the main priority of our national policy – public health protection – is put into practice.
Belarusian sports facilities can host competitions of the highest international level. Sports facilities located not far from Minsk, in the Minsk oblast, keep pace with the capital.
