In a statement, the municipal company Ágora – Cultura e Desporto clarifies that the “Retoma Desporto” line, which emerged in 2021 to help minimize the impact of the restrictive measures on sports activity due to the Covid-19 pandemic, will make the program “in regular support for the preparation of sports seasons”.
In the first edition, the program allocated 70,000 euros to 55 sports entities and clubs in the municipality, increasing the amount allocated in this second edition by 30%, amounting to 100,000 euros, to 51 sports clubs.
The amounts to be granted within the scope of the program are divided into two categories, starting to receive the federated entities of one or two modalities and less than 100 athletes 1,793.72 euros, while the federated entities of more than two modalities or more than 100 athletes receive 2,242.15 euros.
