Aragón grants 2.6 million in aid to top-tier sports clubs

The Official Gazette of Aragon publishes this November 13, 2026 (number 220) the Order PJC/1650/2026, of November 3, by which subsidies are granted to top-category Aragonese sports entities for the 2025/2026 season. The total distribution amounts to 2,595,245.76 euros among elite clubs and sports sections of the community. The order is signed by the Vice President and Councilor for Presidency, Justice, Culture, and Sport, M.ª Mar Vaquero Perianez.

The resolution complies with the call approved by Order PJC/809/2026, of May 20 (published in the “Official Gazette of Aragon” number 106, of June 5, 2026), issued under the regulatory bases of Order ECD/978/2025, of August 1, regarding Sport. The beneficiaries are sports sections of non-profit entities and clubs registered in the Registry of Sports Entities of Aragon.

The call was divided into two simplified competitive procedures, valued separately by the Evaluation Commission and with independent maximum amounts. To access the aid, it is required that the technical staff and at least 70% of the team’s athletes be employed under a labor contract and registered with Social Security, that the competition lasts a minimum of six months and 20 matchdays, and that the team competes in the first, second, or third highest national category of its modality.

Nearly two million for clubs with contracted squads

Annex I brings together the entities of the first group, with a total amount of 1,995,449.03 euros out of a budget of 2,000,000 euros. These are thirteen clubs with teams integrated into the national elite of their disciplines.

Basket Zaragoza 2002 (1st women’s division): 296,037.72 euros.
Club Patín Fraga (roller hockey, 1st women’s division): 254,173.80 euros.
Club Balonmano Huesca (ASOBAL League): 233,241.84 euros.
Club Voleibol Teruel (men’s Superliga): 207,003.17 euros.
BM Zaragoza Adecor (men’s División de Honor Plata): 185,397.36 euros.
Sala 10 (2nd men’s futsal division): 180,849.21 euros.
Colo-Colo (2nd men’s futsal division): 153,331.11 euros.

AD Intersala 10 and Asociación Aragón XXI (2nd women’s futsal division): 89,283.19 and 77,419.80 euros.

Completing the list are CD Teruel (1st RFEF), Club Baloncesto Peñas, and Club Baloncesto Zaragoza (2nd FEB), all three with the maximum limit of 60,000 euros per entity, well below their initial requests.

Distribution among the remaining disciplines

Annex II, totaling 599,796.73 euros, covers clubs and sections competing in the top category of modalities without a professionalized structure or in the category immediately below. The grants are calculated using a points-based formula that applies a limit of 60,000 euros per applicant and specific caps.

Scorpio 71 (Athletics Honor Division): 39,596.16 euros in the women’s category and 37,664.64 in the men’s.
Club Atletismo Peña Zoiti and Club Orientación Ibón: 35,733.12 euros each.
Club de Fútbol Utebo (2nd RFEF): 19,959.04 euros, and Sociedad Deportiva Ejea (2nd RFEF): 19,315.20 euros.
Club Hielo Jaca totals 15,130.24 euros in men’s ice hockey and 13,520.64 in women’s, plus 8,938 in curling.
Zaragoza Hurricanes (American football): 14,486.40 euros for men and 6,760.32 for women.
Club Ciclista Oscense obtains six lines of aid in MTB, road, and cyclocross, all around 10,500-15,000 euros.

Eligible period, rejections, and appeals

Only expenses incurred between June 1, 2025, and July 31, 2026, and effectively paid before October 30, 2026, are eligible for subsidies, in accordance with the seventh clause of the call. The order also dismisses four applications, listed in Annex III:

C.D. Zaragoza Hurricanes, as it concerns a cadet category competition.
Club Pádel Indoor Aragón, due to activity carried out outside the eligible period.
Federación Aragonesa de Tiro con Arco, for failing to meet the conditions of the fourth clause.
Club Patinaje 2 Mil 6, for competing in the second division of a modality without a professionalized category.

Against the order, which exhausts the administrative route, an optional appeal for reversal may be filed before the Vice President and Councilor within one month from the day following its publication, or a contentious-administrative appeal may be filed before the Contentious-Administrative Chamber of the High Court of Justice of Aragon within two months.

The distribution consolidates regional support for elite sports in a context of budget extension: the nearly 2.6 million are paid from budget item G/18080/4571/480346/91002 of the extended budget, and confirm that top-category Aragonese entities—from handball and volleyball to cycling, curling, or athletics—depend on these calls to maintain professional squads and compete at the highest national level.
