AHMEDABAD, SEPT 3
With India making bid for hosting the 2036 Olympics, Gujarat is ramping up the sports infrastructure by constructing world-class stadiums. Corporate Gujarat have earnestly joined in this endeavour by nurturing young talents to become Olympic champs. To give the sports-loving youth of Ahmedabad a perfect launching pad, Ahmedabad Mayor Kiritbhai Parmar on Saturday inaugurated Adani Sportsline’s Sabarmati Riverfront Sports Park in Paldi area of Ahmedabad.
“The Sabarmati Riverfront Sports Park is a fantastic initiative, and it is great to see Adani Sportsline step in and take charge. Sometimes, in sport, in India, this bit of initiative is all that’s lacking, as this helps ensure top class infrastructure for the next generations. I urge the youth to grab this big canvass and fulfill your aspirations of making it great in sports. I hope the cricket nets over here will help in harnessing talent which will represent India in the coming years,” said Mithali Raj, Former Captain, Indian Women Cricket.
“The Sabarmati Riverfront is iconic and symbolises the city and people of Ahmedabad. We are extremely happy to be given this opportunity and will endeavour to take this sporting arena to greater heights. The state-of-the-art Sports Park will not only be well looked after but also it will look after our people in Ahmedabad, and hopefully, we will see the next sporting superstar come through the ranks from here. The Adani Group recognises the transformative power of sports and is keen to nurture and support the talent in the country, as we believe that by providing access to top-notch infrastructure, coaching, and training facilities, we can harness the immense potential of our youth,” said Pranav Adani, Director, Adani Enterprises.
In his inaugural address, the Mayor said, “AMC will offer all help to nurture sports in Ahmedabad. I am confident that visionary Prime Minister’s dream of hosting the Olympics in 2036 will become a reality. Our Home Minister Amitbhai Shah has been constructing a sports complex at a cost of Rs 600 crore and solidly supports sports and sportsmen.”
