Three new "Healthy Neighborhood" sports zones have officially opened in Azerbaijan as part of the "Healthy Neighborhood" project implemented under a presidential decree, İdman.Biz reports.

According to the Ministry of Youth and Sports, the new facilities were inaugurated on July 16 in Zardab and Ujar, while the sports zone in Kurdamir opened on July 17.

Each complex includes mini-football and basketball courts, table tennis and chess areas, as well as outdoor fitness equipment designed to encourage an active lifestyle among local residents.
