Teams of civil servants of Pavlodar region and deputies of the regional maslikhat played in a friendly volleyball match. The game was timed to coincide with the Independence Day of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
The match took place in the Bayantau sports complex. The team of civil servants was brought to the field by the akim of Pavlodar region Abylkair Skakov, and the squad of people's deputies - by the deputy of the regional maslikhat Ilya Terenchenko. The head of the region greeted all the participants of the match and congratulated them on the upcoming Independence Day.
“In sports terms, the outgoing year has become very fruitful for the Pavlodar region,” noted Abylkair Skakov. - Our Serik Temirzhanov won silver at the World Boxing Championships in Belgrade, a pupil of our judo school Zarina Baybatina became the silver medalist at the Paralympics in Tokyo, and the football club Aқsu won the First League and made it to the top division of the country. We will continue to promote healthy lifestyles by funding grassroots sports and ensuring everyone has access to the available sports infrastructure. I hope today's friendly match will only strengthen our positive attitude ahead of the Independence Day holiday.
The game consisted of three sets. Civil servants prevailed in each of the parties: 25:14, 25:13, 25:14. The team of winners was awarded the championship cup, and the squad that took the second place received a letter of thanks.
