The meeting summed up the results of the club's activities over the past five years and outlined guidelines for the coming years. The Central Council was elected, and it now includes Chairman of the Belarusian Tennis Federation Sergei Rutenko and Chairman of the Belarusian Wrestling Federation Alim Selimov.
Dmitry Lukashenko noted that the club will continue to actively participate in organising and holding sport events that promote Belarusian sports, the physical culture and recreation movement in the country. "The current elite of Belarusian sports is mostly formed from athletes who have passed through the scholarship project of the Presidential Sports Club. We have managed to significantly reduce the losses of promising athletes and coaches during their transition to adult sports and give them an important support to reach the highest level. Since the start of the project, the scholarships have been awarded to Olympic sportsmen and disabled athletes,” he said.
Over the past five years, the club has implemented a number of comprehensive programmes aimed at improving the material and technical base of specialised educational and sports institutions, as well as the training process of young athletes. In 2024, the club was among the organisers of 24 major international and republican competitions and supported federations in 18 sports.
