Funding of projects at Olympic bases, competitive sports venues and sports and sports management schools in accordance with the Directive on the Promotion of Sports (RL Sportförderrichtlinie), No. 01510

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, renovate and modernise sports facilities, as well as the construction, extension and conversion of sports 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.

Note: 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, in particular 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

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

Conditions
