With this funding, the Free State of Saxony supports projects in sports facility construction and the procurement of sports equipment under certain conditions.

What is supported?

Sports facility construction

• Projects to secure, refurbish, modernise, build new sports facilities, expand existing facilities and convert existing facilities
• Priority is given to basic sports facilities such as sports halls, sports fields including the associated functional buildings and indoor swimming pools for swimming.

Attention! The promotion of indoor swimming pools is only permissible:

• as a replacement for existing indoor swimming pools, if it can be proven that a higher economic efficiency is achieved in comparison to renovation, or
• due to a strong population growth, especially if the practice of club and mass sports can demonstrably no longer be guaranteed

Procurement of sports equipment

• within the framework of the above-mentioned funding measures: Initial equipment or necessary replacements due to structural changes

Note: Sports facilities operated for profit or used to a significant extent by professional athletes are not eligible for funding. Co-financing of sports facilities for predominantly school use is also not possible within the scope of this funding.
