“The money for this investment, the 22 million euros for this goal, is Cluj’s money. But through the European funds obtained for other projects, with a total of 420 million euros, we managed to make money available to finance these projects in the Borhanci neighborhood”, explained Emil Boc.
It is the first competitive pool built with local funds, which will give the people of Cluj the chance to do sports, through mass swimming. This will make Cluj a swimming center in Romania, according to the project assumed by the authorities.
“Also, what the Multipurpose Hall is for competitive sports competitions, this Olympic pool will be for national and European level competitions. It will introduce Cluj into an elite world swimming circuit. Part of the infrastructure used for the Olympic pool in Borhanci is what is used today in Paris for the Olympic Games, i.e. state-of-the-art technology”, added Emil Boc.
The deadline is 18 months, so the pool will be open to the public in the spring of 2026, according to City Hall representatives.
