The upgrading of the Iakoveio Gymnasium was decided by the Municipality of Paphos and the Cyprus Sports Organization, during a meeting held on Thursday at the offices of the CSO.
The meeting took place following the contacts that the two sides had in November at Paphos City Hall.
According to an announcement by the CSO, in addition to the upgrade of the historic gym, it was also decided that the CSO will take over the management of the "Evagoras Pallikaridis" Swimming Pool from February 1, 2026.
At the same time, the Organization will finance the construction of an outdoor calisthenics gym in the SODAP area. In the same context, it will cover the cost of upgrading existing sports facilities, such as tennis and basketball courts.
During the discussion, the plan for the construction of a sports hall in the area under development where the construction of a new Primary and High School is planned was also raised. As noted in the announcement, the hall will serve both the needs of education and the public, while it can also be used for sports tourism.
