Head of Presidential Sports Club gets medal from Belarus’ NOC

The award in honor of the club’s 20th anniversary was presented by Viktor Lukashenko, President of the National Olympic Committee of the Republic of Belarus.



“I remember well that day 20 years ago when this process began. I remember how the presidential decree and the organization’s areas of work were worked out. It was difficult to start in a field that had been already established and was functioning at that time. Nevertheless, the club managed to find its niche and entered it competently and successfully. It was even more complicated to keep up the standard and you have managed to do it brilliantly. The Presidential Sports Club is one of the most talented, strong, and creative teams in the sport industry. And the number of awards presented during the Pro Sport marketing contest is excellent proof of this. We were not the judges, the sport community was. You deserve all these awards and it is a great honor for me to present them.”
