He announced that in order to enhance the sports per capita in the capital, over 200 new sports complexes have been added to the city.
Development of Sports Infrastructure

Cheaper Services for Citizens
One notable point in Ovajaki's remarks was the announcement that the sports services provided by the Tehran Municipality will be, on average, up to 40% cheaper than government tariffs. This initiative will not only help reduce the sports costs for households but will also increase motivation for participation in sports activities.
Ovajaki also pointed out the benefits of this program, stating: "These sports complexes can serve as a suitable platform for nurturing sports talents in Tehran and contribute to the physical and mental health of citizens." He added that the goal is for every individual in Tehran to have easy access to sports facilities and benefit from them.
New Sports Complexes
The Shahid Nasrollah Sahabi Sports Complex, as one of these projects, will soon welcome athletes and sports enthusiasts with its modern and diverse facilities. This complex includes sports halls, playing fields, and green spaces that can serve as a central point for sports activities in the surrounding neighborhoods.
Considering that urban life today strongly feels the need for physical activity and sports, these actions can help improve the quality of life for citizens and pave the way for increased public participation in sports activities. On the other hand, the increase in sports per capita in Tehran, as one of Iran's metropolises, could also lead to attracting the hosting of national and international sports events.
Future Outlook
With the increasing focus on public health and the importance of sports in daily life, it is hoped that the Tehran Municipality will continue this trend, paving the way for positive changes in the culture of sports and physical activities in society. Hossein Ovajaki concluded his remarks by noting that these new complexes will not only serve as places for sports but also as venues for social interaction and synergy.
