Managers of sports organisations in Kyrgyzstan are to receive pay rises of up to 50 per cent, whilst distinguished coaches will receive 800 KGS

The Kyrgyz Government has approved new model regulations and staffing standards for sports schools, Olympic reserve colleges, national team training centres and sports directorates.

For administrative and management staff at a number of organisations, supplements of up to 50 per cent of the basic salary are provided for productivity, qualifications and contribution to achieving high results on the international sporting stage. For other employees, a supplement of 30 per cent is provided, subject to compliance with the established conditions.

In addition, employees holding the titles of ‘Honoured Coach of the Kyrgyz Republic’ and ‘Honoured Master of Sport of the Kyrgyz Republic’ are entitled to a supplement of 800 KGS.

The State Agency for Physical Culture and Sport will also be granted the authority to determine the procedure and conditions for the accreditation of national sports federations. The decree comes into force on 1 May 2026. This was reported in the newspaper ‘Erkin Too’.
