Sports Grants Allocation for 2025 in the Canary Islands

Overview

The Canary Islands’ Department of Education, Professional Training, Physical Activity, and Sports has finalized the allocation of sports grants for 2025, distributing a total of 400,000 euros among successful applicants.

The process involved:

  • Reviewing over 330 applications
  • Verifying achievements
  • Addressing allegations and documentation corrections

Purpose of Grants

The grants aim to support athletes based on their results in official competitions.

Selection Process

The selection process was guided by specific participation criteria, including:

  • Minimum participation of eight countries
  • At least forty athletes in international events

This resulted in a tiered evaluation, with many applications either approved or rejected. Some claims for reevaluation were considered after applicants made corrections or submitted additional documentation.

Outcomes

  • Several applicants successfully had their requests approved after amendments, especially those involved in participating in European and World Championships at the absolute level, demonstrating sufficient international participation.
  • Others remained rejected due to scoring below thresholds or failing to meet participation thresholds.

"The decision underscores transparency and compliance with legal and regulatory frameworks governing sports funding."

Final Steps

This resolution:

  • Confirms the beneficiaries
  • Awards the allocated funds
  • Establishes a ten-day period for beneficiaries to accept their grants
  • Initiates an official公告 in the Boletín Oficial de Canarias

The decision also emphasizes that final appeals are available within specific legal timeframes.
