Odessa is continuing to enhance adaptive sports.

The Mayor of Odessa, Gennadiy Trukhanov, along with the Barrier-Free Council team, visited the sports club "Arena" to assess the sports facilities.

The club offers rehabilitation services for veterans of the Armed Forces and is actively developing these initiatives in collaboration with the local government.

During the visit, particular attention was given to the accessibility of the premises for individuals with disabilities.

“The facility has excellent training conditions, but we noticed an important detail — the absence of an accessible restroom for wheelchair users. Additionally, there are a few other areas that require improvement. It is encouraging that the club's management is open to dialogue — together we are looking for technical solutions to make the space truly barrier-free,” emphasized Gennadiy Trukhanov.
