Grand opening ceremony of the renovated sports ground of UzhNU has just taken place. The ground, that meets European standards, is located near the University hostel #4 and has a mini football field with artificial grass, multipurpose ground for basketball, volleyball and tennis, various exercise machines.

The Rector of UzhNU Volodymyr Smolanka noted in his speech: "Today we are opening not just a sports ground but a sports complex. It is part of the work that we have already been doing together with our Hungarian partners for two years and we are extremely grateful to them. This is not the first step, we are moving from smaller to larger projects. There are many people here today and I am sure that this place will always be as crowded as now".

 The Hungarian government commissioner in Transcarpathia Istvan Hrezha thanked for the award and stressed that Hungary would continue providing assistance to residents of Transcarpathia regardless of their nationality and would help UzhNU to implement various joint projects.

 The reconstruction of the site and the surrounding area took 33 days and was carried out at the expense of UzhNU (which invested 997 288 thousand UAH) and the Government of Hungary (whose contribution was almost 70 thousand USD).
