The recently opened inclusive beach at the 11th station of the Great Fountain in Odesa hosted the Black Sea Cup in beach sambo.

Athletes from various parts of Ukraine participated in the competition.

Among those present were Deputy Mayor Serhiy Kotsyuba, advisor to the mayor on accessibility issues Oleksiy Morozov, president of the Odesa regional sambo federation NFSU Kadhik Babajanyan, head of the city’s Department of Physical Culture and Sports Ruslan Puzdrach, and director of the Department of Internal Policy Oleksandr Zhiltsov.

“This beach was created not only as a leisure space but also as a real barrier-free venue for events. Today’s competition confirms this. Odesa will continue to support sports and accessibility,” said Serhiy Kotsyuba.

“Our team at the Council for Accessibility saw the potential of this space during the planning stage. Today’s competition is the best proof that we succeeded,” said Oleksiy Morozov.

Beach 11 once again demonstrated its versatility and ability to host events of various scales, uniting sports, inclusion, and city development.
