Canary Islands' Sports Funding Initiative

Overview

The Canary Islands' Department of Education, Vocational Training, Physical Activity, and Sports has launched a new funding opportunity aimed at local sports clubs.

The grants, totaling over 134,000 euros, focus on helping clubs cover transportation expenses for sports equipment and animals used in official competitions. This initiative seeks to support sports development across the islands, including national and international events, by easing logistical costs for clubs.

Application Process

• Clubs interested in applying have ten working days from the official publication date to submit their requests.
• Successful applicants will be notified via the government’s digital platforms.
• Final decisions will be published in the Official Bulletin of the Canary Islands.

Program Details

• The program is based on regulations established earlier this year.
• It provides continuous and non-competitive support.
• The director of Physical Activity and Sports has the authority to grant these funds and make related decisions, including adjustments to the total budget.

Impact and Significance

"This move underscores the regional government’s commitment to fostering local sports and making participation more accessible."

For residents, especially athletes and clubs, it means financial relief and greater opportunities to compete at higher levels without the burden of transportation costs.
