YEREVAN, April 29 – Levon Pachajyan, former midfielder of the Armenian national football team, took to his Facebook page today to highlight the insufficient sports infrastructure in Yerevan, specifically pointing out the lack of dedicated running and cycling tracks.
Pachajyan’s Call for Enhanced Sports Infrastructure
Pachajyan, a prominent figure in Armenian football, noted that the facilities designated for sports such as running and cycling are either scarce or virtually non-existent in the capital city.

The call for improved infrastructure could potentially spark discussions among city planners and local authorities regarding investments in urban development that prioritize public health and sports.
The former national team player’s public appeal adds a significant voice to the ongoing conversation about urban planning and the quality of life in Yerevan, advocating for changes that could benefit a wide demographic, from amateur athletes to casual exercisers.
