THROUGH the Philippine Sports Commission, the iconic Rizal Memorial Sports Complex will host the International Sports Facilities Management Conference and Tradeshow starting today, Wednesday, up to Saturday at the Rizal Memorial Coliseum.
Behind the theme of “Elevating Sports Excellence through Sustainable and Safe World-Class Facilities,” the national sports agency will hold a conference on sports facilities management in line with its progressive take in developing sports in the country.Headlining the conference is Taras Mukovoz, a venue expert from the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA), with topics on venue management for large-scale sporting events and the best practices for its management and operations.
Aside from Mukovoz, the commission has also brought in experts from various private entities to share their proficiency in technology, innovation, and sustainability in managing sports facilities.
Backed by the national government, the sports conference will also feature resource speakers from the Department of Energy, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources-Environmental Management Bureau, and the Office of Civil Defense – NDRRMC.
With ongoing developments in its very own infrastructure projects such as the retrofitting of the Rizal Memorial Baseball Stadium, its recent FIFA Quality Pro certification for the Rizal Memorial Football Field, upgrades in its Sports Museum and dormitories and more, the PSC welcomes Senators Bong Go and Pia Cayetano – two of the commission’s strong supporters in its mandate in supporting Filipino athletes, and over 300 participating officials from different local government units for the conference to showcase the developments of its efforts in bringing forth an elevated experience in Philippine sports venues.
