Data Analytics on a Unified Platform, Websites on Gosweb: How Kaluga Region Is Making Sports More Accessible
Sports school and athletic facility websites across Russia’s Kaluga Region will be moved to a unified government digital platform called Gosweb. Automating the management of sports infrastructure is expected to make athletic activities and services even more accessible to residents.
Kaluga Region is undertaking a large-scale digital transformation of its sports sector. The effort includes expanding online services for residents and making them easier to access.
Federal Systems Help Drive the Effort
The region is developing several user-friendly digital platforms. The automated information system Moy Sport (My Sport) is designed to digitize the operations of sports organizations. Every sports school and coach in the region is connected to the system. Each athlete has an electronic profile, and the system also contains information about sports facilities.
The platform can generate reports for individual sports organizations, maintain a unified calendar of events, analyze sports school operations and track how heavily facilities are used. In 2026, Moy Sport became part of the federal Sport State Information System, expanding the ability to exchange data on athletic achievements and synchronize competition calendars.
The regional Ministry of Sport also uses the Gosuslugi (Public Services) government portal, which allows residents to register for community sporting events. The region is moving beyond standalone online services toward a unified digital environment that connects sports schools, sports authorities and residents.
Build a Website Quickly and Affordably
Kaluga Region Gov. Vladislav Shapsha recognizes that digital transformation in physical education and sports directly affects how accessible sports services are and how efficiently the sector is managed. The next step is to move sports school and facility websites to the unified Gosweb digital platform.
Gosweb is a website builder that comes with ready-made templates, publishing tools and technical support. Using the service will help sports schools cut the cost of developing their own websites, reduce their reliance on outside contractors and make it easier to keep information up to date.
The region already has experience with the platform. As of Oct. 1, 2026, 610 websites operated by regional government agencies and organizations were running on Gosweb. A user survey found that the system was convenient and offered several advantages: 68% of organizations cited the ease of using its unified interface and navigation, 38% pointed to convenient editing tools, and 30% highlighted accessibility and security. The region’s experience suggests that Gosweb can save organizations about 860,000 rubles (approximately $10,500) a year in website maintenance costs.
Digital Transformation Through 2030
In March 2026, the Russian government approved a new strategic direction for the digital transformation of physical education and sports through 2030. The plan calls for creating a unified digital environment nationwide, establishing electronic records of athletic achievements and expanding services for residents. Its target outcomes include integrating 100% of legal entities operating in physical education and sports into the unified digital environment, introducing electronic athlete profiles and expanding online registration for sporting events.
The strategy also calls for the use of Russian software and data analytics technologies. This is expected to give a boost to the market for industry-specific information systems, integration services, analytical tools and management platforms for government organizations.
Digital transformation is expected to help raise the share of residents who participate in sports to 70% by 2030, among people without medical contraindications or other restrictions. Kaluga Region is already working toward that goal. For local authorities, the new technologies offer more precise planning tools. For residents, they make it easier to find sports programs and access services. Adults and children across the region stand to benefit as digital tools make it easier for them to take part in sports and physical activities.
