"We traditionally meet at the end of the year to discuss the results of the outgoing year and to award athletes and sports specialists. This year is no exception," President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, President of the National Olympic Committee, Ilham Aliyev, said at the ceremony dedicated to the results of sports in 2025 held on December 26, APA reports.
"In 2025, the number of medals won by our athletes reached a record high. More than 2,000 medals, including about 600 gold medals, were won at international competitions. This once again demonstrates that the development of sports in Azerbaijan is progressing successfully. Compared to last year, the number of medals has increased, which is a natural result of the attention we pay to the development of sports and the state policy we pursue, leading to improved outcomes year after year," the head of state noted.
President Ilham Aliyev stated that the development of sports in Azerbaijan is an integral part of our state policy and numerous state programs have been implemented: "Sports infrastructure has been built almost from scratch and is now at the highest level. All necessary conditions have been created for people to engage in sports in the regions. This year, construction of two Olympic Sports Centers - in Ganja and Yevlakh - was completed, bringing the total number of Olympic Sports Centers in the regions to 46."
