Haskovo council has set prices for its new open-air sports complex, Panorama, and changed the rules on local fees and service charges. Councillors voted on the changes at their 23rd meeting.

Half a football pitch costs €15 an hour until 6pm and €20 after that. The full pitch costs €25 an hour before 6pm and €36 after. Hiring the full pitch for a whole day, 8 hours, costs €160.

A basketball court, volleyball court or tennis court costs €10 an hour until 6pm and €12 after that. For 8 hours, each costs €50. The beach sports court costs €15 an hour before 6pm and €20 later, and €160 for the whole day. Prices include VAT.

A parent with a child up to seven years old can use the sports area free for the first 30 minutes. This applies from 8:30am to 5pm on working days, except public holidays, and only in free slots. After the half hour, the adult pays half the regular price.

Sports clubs based in Haskovo municipality that run youth sport get a 20% discount on the facilities.

The municipal enterprise Sport, Leisure and Tourism will run and maintain the complex. Councillors approved five new full-time posts for it. Construction began in October 2024. The project costs €993,184 (1,942,500 leva), paid from the budget of the Ministry of Regional Development and Public Works.

The council also adopted a 2026 programme under which Haskovo municipality will give financial support to youth activities.

Councillors also voted to ask the state to hand the municipality, free of charge, the management of the Alexandrovo tomb, the Thracian Art in the Eastern Rhodopes museum centre, and the street and car park leading to them, for 10 years.
