The first transnational meeting of the 'Cities After Dark' network within the URBACT program took place on November 13-15 in Braga, Portugal, bringing together experts and leaders from various cities to discuss innovative strategies related to the nightlife of cities.

On Thursday, November 23, from 8 to 9 a.m., a sports event will be held in three sports centers and two winter swimming centers in Tallinn. At this event, everyone can join free training sessions. The aim is to emphasize the importance of regular exercise throughout the year, even during the dark and cold seasons when various opportunities are available.

Tallinn plans to collaborate with the private sector to construct an Olympic-sized swimming pool in Lasnamäe at the Kuukivi 3 and 5 (formerly Varraku 14a and 14b) properties. In 2019, Tondiraba Ujula OÜ, the winner of the state procurement that year, informed the city in late August that they would be unable to complete the construction of the pool within the agreed-upon time and conditions due to a substantial increase in construction costs. Since the construction project has already been made and all that is missing are the construction procurements, the city has decided to terminate the existing contract and plans to start a new procurement process.

In April, Tallinn allocated a total of 375 820 euros to 293 high-achieving athletes and 19,062 euros to 17 local sports projects as part of the grants for non-profit activities in the field of sports.

The Tallinn City Government has proposed to the City Council to lease, from December 4, Hiiu Stadium, Lasnamäe Stadium, Wismari Football Stadium, and Võidujooksu Football Field to the current managing football clubs for a ten-year period.
