Athletics Academies to Be Established in Three Cities of the TRNC

The Athletics Federation of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) is launching an Athletics Academy project in Famagusta, Nicosia, and Kyrenia. The goal is to promote athletics among children and develop successful athletes for the future.

The Athletics Academies, which will be set up in these three regions, aim to provide young athletes with fundamental athletics skills and ensure the necessary infrastructure for various sports is in place.

The academy in Famagusta will be hosted at the athletics club of the American University of Kyrenia (GAU) and the athletics club of the Eastern Mediterranean University (EMU). In Nicosia, the academy will operate under the auspices of the Erbulut Gymnastics Association and the Velospeed Sports Association.

Through this initiative, children will have the opportunity to learn fundamental skills such as running, jumping, and throwing from an early age. The Academy’s programs aim to promote sports culture, instill healthy habits, and make sports an integral part of daily life.

The first meeting to discuss the activities of the Athletics Academy was held at the fitness center of the TRNC Athletics Federation at Atatürk Stadium.

“Our children will not only achieve success in sports but will also be prepared for the future as confident, disciplined, and healthy individuals. The Athletics Academy will be an investment that benefits both athletes and society,” said Ferhat Sakallı, president of the Athletics Federation.

Pre-registration for the Athletics Academy is already underway.
