BEIJING, July 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Power Construction
Corporation of China ("POWERCHINA" or "the
Company") continues to play a vital role in the development of
global sports with the smooth progress of multiple sports facility
construction projects around the world, demonstrating its
significant efforts in promoting cross-cultural exchanges through
the organizing of sports events.
In May 2024, the groundbreaking
ceremony for the Serbia National Football Stadium Project and the
EXPO 2027 project undertaken by POWERCHINA was successfully held,
with Serbian President Aleksandar
Vucic expressing his high expectations for the project at
the ceremony, thanking China for
its support. The stadium will provide Serbia with high-quality
sports facilities, capable of hosting World Cup and European
Cup-level events, while the EXPO 2027 project will become one
of Southeast Europe's largest
international trade expo venues, hosting EXPO 2027.
POWERCHINA has been expanding its sports facility construction
projects globally. For instance, it built Qatar's first solar power plant, the
800-megawatt Al Kharsaah photovoltaic power station, which began
operations during the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Qatar's Minister of State for Energy Affairs,
Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi, noted that
the project increases renewable energy utilization and supports
Qatar's commitment to a
"carbon-neutral" World Cup.
In Benin, POWERCHINA has undertaken multipurpose stadium
projects, constructing sports facilities in 10 cities. Locally led
construction includes stands, all-weather running tracks, offices,
and landscaping. The project overcame challenges of tight
deadlines, extensive tasks, and logistics across multiple cities to
ensure progress and quality. POWERCHINA upholds its principle of
treating project sites like cities at home, fostering community
bonds, and fulfilling corporate social responsibilities
diligently.
The Benguela and Lubango Stadiums in Angola are designed and constructed by
POWERCHINA. Signed on Dec. 18th, 2007
and delivered in December 2009, the
project is two of the four important stadiums built in Angola for the 2010 Africa Football Cup of
Nations, providing important support for the smooth organization of
the event.
POWERCHINA not only builds sports facilities globally but also
promotes employee wellness through sports events. In Ecuador, the Company sponsored the SINOHYDRO
Cup Football Friendly Match, part of the Ecuadorian Amazon Region
Electric Power Union Sports Competition. Local and Chinese
employees participated, with the multicultural POWERCHINA team
winning. The Mayor of El Chaco commended POWERCHINA for its active
role and support in local sports, acknowledging its significant
community contributions. Similarly, the Company has organized and
engaged in football and badminton events in the UAE and
Malaysia respectively, further
fostering sports participation and community development.
POWERCHINA is committed to global infrastructure construction,
actively participates in various sports and cultural exchanges,
promotes international friendship and cooperation, integrates the
concept of sustainable development, promotes global high-quality
development, and injects a strong impetus for building a community
of human destiny.
