This award is one of the key industry accolades honoring the best projects and accomplishments in the sports industry. In 2025, the organizing committee received 602 applications from participants, with 250 making it to the shortlist. Finalists were evaluated by an independent jury consisting of 250 leading experts in the field who determined the winners among them.

We are delighted to announce that our project NAVKA ARENA made it into the top finalists in the «Concept of the Year» category!

NAVKA ARENA — is Russia’s first ice theater combining opportunities for hosting sports competitions, cultural events, and family entertainment. Construction work on this unique venue was carried out over two-and-a-half years based on an original design concept. Company Metropolis acted as the general designer responsible for all stages—from conceptualization through project documentation, working drawings, up to author's supervision. Our project has been highly appreciated by both industry professionals and the wider community.

The annual SBK Awards ceremony traditionally served as a meeting place for leaders in Russian sports business. Held at the Theater Concert Hall of Yauza Palace in Moscow, the event brought together more than 700 guests including representatives from federations, developers, clubs, leagues, brands, sport stars, and media personalities.

We would like to express gratitude to everyone involved in creating this exceptional complex—the project team, partners such as «MONOTEK STROY», ANO «RSIO», UNK Architects and others. Congratulations to all laureates and fellow finalists of the prize!

Thank you for your support and attention! Together we create the future of Russia's sporting and cultural heritage!
