The sports club "Kalininets" celebrates its 60th anniversary today.

      The Kalininec sports complex is arguably one of the oldest and largest sports complexes in the Urals. The title "sports club Kalininec" was conferred on the collective by a resolution of the Central Council of the All-Union Voluntary Sports Society "Trade Unions" on January 19, 1966. That date is the official birthday of the sports complex.

      Within the walls of the sports complex, both in the Soviet era and in modern Russian sport, the following athletes were developed: Olympic athletics champion Olga Mineeva; European Athletics Championships medalist Boris Kuznetsov; Olympic champions and medalists in rhythmic gymnastics Elena Krivoshei, Maria Netesova, and Olga Glatskikh; Olympic synchronized swimming champion Anzhelika Timanina; Paralympic athletics champion Artem Arefyev; Intercontinental Cup holder and world boxing champion Mikhail Boyarsky; and USSR cross-country skiing champion Miron Filippov. The women's handball teams have repeatedly become champions and medalists of the USSR championship, and the footballers were participants in the USSR First League (the equivalent of today's FNL).

      In 1994 the Kalininec sports complex was transferred to municipal ownership.

      In 2013 Kalininec won the right to be one of the training venues for the FIFA World Cup. In connection with this, a course was taken toward reconstructing the sports complex. A phased reconstruction project was developed and transformations of the modern sports complex began:

      2017 — football stadium;

      2017 — modern workout (outdoor gym) area;

      2018 — athletics stadium with modern running tracks and sectors for technical events;

      2018 — open hockey court with lighting;

      2019 — roller-ski track with lighting;

      2019 — GTO Testing Center;

      2020 — Health Route;

      2020–2023 — reconstruction for the Universiade 2023: athletics stadium with stands for 5,000 spectators and modern infrastructure;

      2023 — major overhaul of the swimming pool and sports pavilion;

      2023 — ice arena.

      More than 100 competitions and tournaments of various levels, from regional to all‑Russian and international, are held at the sports complex. More than 5,500 visitors come to Kalininec, of whom 3,500 are children — students of eight sports schools and sports sections of the complex who practice physical education and sport at Kalininec.
