Deportes de Badajoz increases its budget to 12.29 million euros

The Badajoz City Council has given final approval to budget modification file number 020/2026/2 of the Municipal Sports Foundation (FMD), in the form of a credit supplement, which sets the organization’s budget for 2026 at 12,294,145.56 euros. The agreement was adopted by the municipal Plenary on September 24, 2026, and is now published, as no objections were filed, in the Official Gazette of the Province of Badajoz no. 214, of November 9, 2026 (Announcement 4325/2026).

The processing complies with article 169.3 of Royal Legislative Decree 2/2004, of March 5, which approves the revised text of the Law Regulating Local Treasuries, which requires the budget to be made public once the approved modification has been introduced. The announcement bears the signature of the mayor-president, Ignacio Gragera Barrera.

An increase of 59,837.35 euros over the current budget

The modification raises the Foundation’s budget from the 12,234,308.21 euros it had following the previous supplement, 020/2026/1, approved by the Plenary on July 23, 2026, and published in the Official Gazette of the Province no. 166, of August 31, 2026. The net increase is 59,837.35 euros, distributed between two chapters of the expenditure statement:

• Chapter 6, real investments: increases by 44,787.15 euros, up to 3,513,308.79 euros.
• Chapter 2, expenditure on current goods and services: increases by 15,050.20 euros, up to 2,911,947.77 euros.

The remaining chapters maintain their figures relative to the previous budget, except for the total: personnel (5,384,187.97 euros), financial expenses (1,500.00), current transfers (458,201.03), and financial assets (25,000.00). Chapter 5, the contingency fund, and chapters 7 and 9 remain at zero.

Real investments: 3.51 million, 28.6% of expenditure

Chapter 6 is the second largest in the budget and the one that absorbs the bulk of the supplement, with 3,513,308.79 euros allocated to real investments, representing 28.6% of the total expenditure statement. Personnel expenses, at 5,384,187.97 euros, remain the primary item, accounting for 43.8% of the organization’s budget.

Between these two headings and the expenditure on current goods and services (2,911,947.77 euros, 23.7%), 67.5% of the planned expenditure is accumulated. Current transfers, at 458,201.03 euros, represent 3.7%, while financial expenses and variations in financial assets are marginal items.

Where the funding comes from

The income statement is balanced with the expenditure statement at 12,294,145.56 euros, without direct or indirect taxes: the Foundation does not collect taxes. The final forecasts are based on three sources:

• Current transfers: 7,783,710.42 euros, 63.3% of the funding.
• Financial assets: 3,814,008.84 euros, 31.0%.
• Fees, public prices, and other income: 681,290.00 euros, 5.5%.
• Capital income: 15,136.30 euros.

The two items financing the supplement are precisely those that are growing: financial assets increase by 44,787.15 euros and fees by 15,050.20 euros, exactly the same amounts that are incorporated into investment expenditure and goods and services.

Impact on municipal sports

The final budget of the Municipal Sports Foundation conditions the activity of municipal sports facilities, the staff who manage them, and the clubs and users who depend on its programs and subsidies. With 3.51 million in real investments and 458,201.03 euros in current transfers, the margin for improving equipment and supporting sports entities is set for the remainder of 2026, without the announcement detailing the specific destination of each investment.
