Ion Tiriac (86 years old), the former great tennis player, was visiting the mayor of Brasov, George Scripcaru. The billionaire plans to build a ice rink, a judo room, but also a sports kindergarten, in collaboration with the local authorities.
ŢIRIAC He thought the project in partnership with the City Hall. The former great tennis player was born in Brasov and has a childhood in the same city. Precisely for this reason, Ion Țiriac He wants to invest in infrastructure to help develop children.
ŢIRIAC He plans to build a sports kindergarten in Brasov, where children move from very early ages.
Ion Țiriac: “I would love to start in Brasov with such a sports kindergarten”
“I was born here, I grew up here and I think it is worth doing more for this city. We have to do more for sports, because if we do not start, the best known, nothing will be done.
It was still the illusion to do public-private partnership, but nothing has been done yet. Now we try to do something for sports: a ice rink, a judo room, maybe tennis courts or everything you can.
You also have a new leadership, a leadership that I have known for several years, it seems we have a common denominator and we can start on the road quite quickly.
I have started the project with kindergartens for a long time. My colleagues, Nadia Comăneci, Ilie Năstase and Gică Hagi, joined them. I started the idea of these sports kindergartens, there was nothing sophisticated: the children to stay in an hour, an hour outside, to have a normal life. The projects were made, approved, published, but in the end it was not materialized.
I would be very pleased to start in Brasov with such a sports kindergarten to let the child have a normal lifethat is not to stay with the tablet in his hand, to stand with his feet on the ground, “said Ion Țiriac, quoted by Monitorulexpres.ro.
