Recent years have seen an increasing number of new investments to the benefit of residents across the country. They include new schools, nurseries, kindergartens, roads and sports facilities. Akademia Raków will gain an additional full-size football pitch. The investment will receive funding from the state budget under the Football Infrastructure Development Programme. Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, during a visit to the RKS Raków Municipal Football Stadium in Częstochowa, announced support for the construction of the stadium.
Sport Is about Passion, Entertainment and Determination
Sport is more than just one area of our social life. It is an inspiration and a way of life for many of us. It can attract children away from computers and TV screens. Therefore the government, aware of the importance of sports, invests in sports facilities, such as halls, pitches, stadiums etc.
“We have decided to invest state funds and support the construction of the stadium. To a standard that will allow it to serve the club also in European competitions,” announced Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki during a visit to the club from Częstochowa. At the same time, he congratulated the club's representatives on their success in recent seasons and on winning the Polish championship in the current competition.
A New Pitch for Raków Academy
The project has been pre-qualified for funding by the Ministry of Sport and Tourism. A substantive assessment of the submitted applications is currently underway, after which the amounts of funding will be finally confirmed in the coming weeks.
The project will include the construction of a full-size football pitch, with Akademia Raków as the main user. The entire investment includes the preparation of the site and construction of the infrastructure necessary to conduct sports activities, including equipment storage, a district heating substation and changing rooms.
