Music and sport may seem like completely different fields at first glance. However, they have much in common: strength and energy, discipline, movement, the pursuit of excellence, and the ability to inspire people and evoke powerful emotions. The fact that sport plays a significant role in the lives of many renowned artists fully confirms this idea.

Nyusha Shurochkina practiced Muay Thai as a child. The discipline, physical training and sporting spirit she gained through the experience became part of her life. Sport also has a special place in her family: her sister, Maria Shurochkina, is an Olympic champion in artistic swimming.
Hadise Açıkgöz practiced equestrian sport as a child. Today, she is known as one of the brightest stars of Turkish pop music, while her childhood passion for horses and riding remains an interesting chapter of her biography. Hadise is also a football fan and supports the Turkish club Galatasaray.
Murat Boz has a particularly strong connection with football. As a young man, he played football himself and once dreamed of pursuing a professional career in the sport. Murat is a passionate supporter of Istanbul's Beşiktaş and has repeatedly expressed his loyalty to his beloved club. For him, football is not simply a hobby, but a part of his personal story.
Myriam Fares maintains excellent physical fitness through workouts, yoga and stretching. For an artist who combines singing with demanding dance performances, physical endurance is especially important. Her shows require not only musical talent, but also genuine athletic preparation.

Sport thus becomes another invisible thread connecting these stars of the stage. One has stepped into the ring, another has ridden horses, another passionately supports a football club, while another trains regularly to stay in shape for the stage. Yet they share a common goal — to remain fit, challenge themselves and give their audiences energy and inspiration.
At the Ashgabat Multipurpose Stadium, music and sport will once again come together — this time before a large audience united by a festive atmosphere and a shared love of spectacular performances.
