"I am confident that we will witness a great Olympic Games and it will be exciting for all of us", says Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili.
The Georgian official spent the day today examining the infrastructure for the 2015 European Youth Olympic Festival (EYOF), due to be held in Tbilisi next month.
Prime Minister Garibashvili spontaneously decided to visit the construction sites after meeting members of the Olympic organizing committee.
Garibashvili visited the Olympic village and was introduced to the new sporting facilities built for next month's festival, such as an athletics hall, gymnastics arena, swimming pools and volleyball arena.
The Georgian PM stressed the significance of honorably hosting the event, which was of international importance.
"This is a great challenge for our country and a huge privilege at the same time. Construction works are almost finished and the facilities are being cleaned. We are waiting for the Olympics and for many guests. Tbilisi will be very crowded at the end of July,” he said.
"After the Olympics are finished, two weeks later we will host the UEFA Super Cup final, which is also a great opportunity to attract many tourists and visitors to Tbilisi,” Garibashvili noted.
The construction works on the European Youth Olympic facilities will be finished in two weeks.
The 13th EYOF will open in Tbilisi on July 26 and continue until August 1.
Only 50 days are left until the official start of the 2015 European Youth Olympic Festival (EYOF) in Tbilisi.
A celebration is planned in Rustavi this evening to mark the arrival of the Olympic flame.
People in southern Georgia are among the first in the country to be given the rare opportunity to see the Olympic flame.
The Olympic flame for the 2015 European Youth Olympic Festival (EYOF) has landed in Georgia’s seaside city Batumi ahead of the Tbilisi 2015 torch relay after being flown from Athens, Greece.
The Olympic flame for the 2015 European Youth Olympic Festival (EYOF) has been lit in the ancient Greek city of Athens and will today travel to Georgia for the international youth sporting competition.
A limited edition silver coin has been developed as one of the symbols of the 2015 European Youth Olympic Festival (EYOF), being held in Tbilisi later this month.
A new and modern sports facility that will host young athletes at the upcoming European Youth Olympic Festival (EYOF) has opened today in Georgia’s capital Tbilisi.
In less than two weeks thousands of the world’s best young athletes, their coaches and supporters will come to Georgia for the European Youth Olympic Festival 2015.
With ten days to go before the official opening of the European Youth Olympic Festival 2015, the Olympic Flame is preparing to enter Georgia’s capital city.
The last sporting facility for the European Youth Olympic Festival (EYOF) 2015 has opened today - three days before the Festival begins - meaning Tbilisi is officially ready to host the international sporting competition.
Sporting facilities in Georgia’s capital city are being offered a helping hand through a new initiative that will significantly reduce their tax obligations.
