Despite a slight postponement due to the pandemic, construction works are taking place as normally, introduced the project implementing body.
With the implementation of the aforementioned projects, it becomes possible for Mongolia to hold various international sports tournaments on the regional, continental, and world level.

Main construction work completed for Mongolia’s first indoor winter sports venue

Funded independently through the financing of domestic entities, the main construction of the venue has been completed, with interior works and the making of the ice rink underway.
Alongside an Olympic-sized ice rink with a ratio of 60x30 meters, the venue will have over 10 rooms and areas to be used during tournaments and competitions, which includes changing rooms for athletes and referees, a media press area, and a first aid room.
With the establishment of a winter sports palace, it not only lays the foundation to develop winter sports such as professional hockey and figure skating, but also becomes possible to use the venue for various sports competitions, concerts and performances, and conferences.
The project is planned to be completed in July 2021.
