Dmitry Chernyshenko held the first meeting of the Government Commission for the implementation of the comprehensive state program “Development of physical culture and sports”
Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko held the first meeting of the Government Commission for the implementation of the comprehensive state program of the Russian Federation “Development of physical culture and sports”.
Dmitry Chernyshenko recalled that in 2024, at a meeting of the Sports Council, the President instructed to increase the level of coordination of the management of physical education and sports, affecting various areas and spheres of the economy. This Government Commission was established by a Government Resolution.
“President Vladimir Putin has set us the task of developing a unified approach to the development of physical education and sports under the state program. The total expenditure of budgets at all levels on sports in the country alone is more than 700 billion rubles, and there are also corporate expenses. The commission is called upon to unite all available resources and increase the efficiency of financial investments. Within the framework of the state program, large-scale construction of sports facilities is planned for 2030: flat sports grounds, modular complexes and capital sports facilities, and much more,” Dmitry Chernyshenko emphasized.
The Deputy Prime Minister added that, on the instructions of the President, work is underway to increase the level of transparency of payments and create a system of incentives for coaches and athletes, which will be implemented, including through funds from the Russian Sports Fund.
The draft law on the Russian Sports Fund has already been approved by the Government and submitted to the State Duma. The fund will also direct funds to the development of children’s and youth and mass sports, support for Olympians and Paralympians, and, if necessary, to the development of sports infrastructure. When selecting applications, the development of sports, the effectiveness of organizations, the volume of invested funds and attracted private investments will be taken into account.
On the instructions of the head of state, the Government prepared directives for joint-stock companies with a Russian Federation share of more than 50% on the regular submission of information on extra-budgetary expenditures in the field of sports and the coordination of regions in the construction of sports infrastructure.
Sports Minister Mikhail Degtyarev emphasized key changes in the approach to the development of the industry, and also outlined priorities for the coming years.
“In accordance with the instructions of the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, the program “Development of Physical Culture and Sports” received the status of a comprehensive one. An important criterion for efficiency is now not only the fulfillment of plans, but also the level of satisfaction of the population with the conditions created for sports. For us, this is now the main guideline,” the head of the department noted.
The comprehensive state program until 2030 provides for large-scale construction of sports facilities throughout the country. The planned projects include 150 capital sports facilities, 637 smart sports grounds, 1078 small sports grounds and 86 quickly erected modular facilities: swimming pools, halls, skating rinks with artificial ice.
In addition, the Ministry of Sports will continue to build modular sports facilities in historical regions that have returned to Russia. Five such facilities will be built there annually with a total funding of 1 billion rubles.
The Minister stressed that taking into account existing sources of funding will be an important part of the work.
“Information on consolidated regional expenditures, as well as on off-budget sources of development at the expense of state corporations, large businesses and sports federations will be systematized in the second quarter of this year. I would like to emphasize that this will not be additional financing for the industry, but a consideration of existing sources,” noted Mikhail Degtyarev.
This approach will allow for more effective coordination between regions and the federal center, which will ensure the comprehensive development of sports infrastructure throughout the country.
The President of the Russian Gymnastics Federation, CEO and Chairman of the Board of JSC Russian Railways Oleg Belozerov emphasized that JSC Russian Railways, being the largest company in Russia, is ready to actively integrate into the implementation of the sports development program.
“More than 600 physical culture and sports clubs have been created and are developing in the Russian Railways system, including at its own sports facilities. This is the largest organization in terms of personnel in the Russian Federation. We hold more than 11 thousand events, covering more than 2.6 million employees, family members and veterans of the industry. All-Russian sports federations, as well as clubs and other components, receive financial support. And we can definitely say that good unified coordination within the framework of the mechanisms being created is extremely important. This will improve the quality of missionary activities,” said Oleg Belozerov.
The head of the Federal Medical and Biological Agency, Veronika Skvortsova, noted that in order to improve the results of athletes, it is necessary to extend unified approaches to medical and biological support and analysis to regional teams, expand the digital health system for athletes, create a single database of permits based on an electronic passport, and modernize complex scientific groups, which will allow sports achievements to be brought to a new level.
Dmitry Chernyshenko also instructed to create an expert council to support the commission and propose innovative solutions, and to continue collecting proposals to increase the level of citizen satisfaction with the conditions for physical education and sports, including through the public services portal.
In addition, the Deputy Prime Minister noted the importance of providing information support for the development of sports and gave instructions regarding the coverage of the successes of Russian athletes.
The work plan of the government commission for the implementation of the comprehensive state program “Development of Physical Culture and Sports” for 2025 and the composition of its presidium were also approved.
The meeting was attended by the Minister of Sports Mikhail Degtyarev, the head of the Federal Medical and Biological Agency Veronika Skvortsova, the President of the Russian Gymnastics Federation, CEO and Chairman of the Board of JSC Russian Railways Oleg Belozerov, the Governor of the Tula Region, Chairman of the State Council Commission on Physical Culture and Sports Dmitry Milyaev, the CEO of the National Priorities ANO Sofia Malyavina, as well as representatives of relevant departments, organizations and subjects of the Russian Federation.
