Jyväskylä City Council has approved the detailed plans for the Hippos project in its meeting on 23 November 2020. In addition to the sports facilities, the total project of approximately 154 million euro includes a state-of-the-art skills center and modern research facilities for Finland’s leading research units of sports sciences.

The capital of sport, Jyväskylä, is building an international co-operation network with Umeå and Tartu, as well as the regional sports clubs, with the aim of supporting young people's physical activity in the target areas. The pilot project, funded by the European Union and coordinated by the City of Jyväskylä, will start in January 2021.

A new financier is about to introduce 43 million euro to carry out the project.
