(Hai Fe) - Following the motion to order by Council members Tatiana John, Attorney Yaakov Borovsky and Artyom Kharchenko regarding the promotion of the sports field in the city of Haifa, it was decided to continue the "Neighborhood Heroes" project without a vote on the motion.
The decision was made following the proposal of council member Artyom Kharchenko, an athlete and coach, who spoke about the importance of sports in the city of Haifa, as an essential field not only from a physical point of view, but also as an engine for promoting physical activity education and a sporting lifestyle among all the city's residents.

Kharchuk noted that sports are a "showcase" for every city, and that in order to ensure the development and success of the sports sector in the city, support and empowerment are needed. "Sports in Haifa require special attention, and I believe that the city must continue to invest in local athletes and in promoting their achievements."
The "Neighborhood Heroes" project, which Kharchenko initiated last year, is starting again. As part of the project, professional photos were taken of selected athletes, who brought great honor to the city of Haifa and the country, such as world and European champions. Their photos were hung on billboards in the neighborhoods where they live, with the aim of enhancing local pride and emphasizing the impressive achievements of the athletes.
Kharchenko added in an interview to Lahi Fa that "the most important thing for athletes is the attitude. When an athlete is traveling on a bus and sees his photo, or when his friends send him a message with his photo, it makes them proud. It is this sense of urban support that warms their hearts and shows them that the city sees and appreciates them." According to him, often, what is more important than money and infrastructure, is the city's appreciation and support for local athletes.
This project joins the broad efforts of the municipality to strengthen the field of local sports, and to present Haifa as a city that places great value on the development of athletes and supporting sports as a model of a healthy lifestyle.
