Student training, IT League games and even international competitions among teachers – NURE football field is rarely empty. As a result, in recent years, players have played on a worn surface with many injuries.
“The field was built more than 10 years ago. Of course, the coating was worn out. And at the meeting of the supervisory board of the university, our graduates proposed to put it in order. It turns out that our students, but former ones, undertook the reconstruction of the field for students. And in this situation, they acted as statesmen”.- Valerii Semenets, Rector of NURE.
The owners of two Kharkiv companies, Oleksandr Kolb, CEO of Promodo, and Oleksandr Medovyi, CEO of AltexSoft, offered to carry out major repairs. Large-scale work began in the summer. In a few months, a modern drainage system was installed on the field, the playing surface was completely leveled, a new generation lawn was laid and the gate was replaced.
“We did it primarily for students. I am a graduate of this university, many of my staff studied here. Our football team plays on this field almost every weekend. I often came to cheer for them and saw in what condition it was. It was an honor for me to help my home university in resolving this issue. It’s not just the restoration of the stadium – it’s the right investment in the development of our future young generation and future IT professionals”.- Alexander Kolb, CEO of Promodo
In October the field was officially opened. It was traditionally marked by a friendly match between the teams of the companies that sponsored the reconstruction. The players are satisfied. They say a new coating is what you need.
“It is important and very valuable for me to participate in the life of my home university. Give to where I once received a lot. This is not our first project in NURE. A few years ago, at the Department of Software Engineering, we successfully launched the TechTalents program, which allows interested guys to learn more about product management, mathematics and algorithms, and now focus on health and sports. Together they got a new decent field in the city center. Further more»- Alexander Medovyi, President & CEO of AltexSoft
In turn, the university plans to continue the reconstruction, and in the spring of 2022 to update the lighting system.
