Marchamalo allocates 12,000 euros for sports clubs with a ten-day deadline

The Marchamalo City Council has opened the call for grants for the promotion of sports for the 2026 fiscal year, with a budget of 12,000 euros, through an extract published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Guadalajara number 216, dated November 11, 2026, with the code BDNS 939353. The call was approved by resolution on October 30, 2026, and reached the gazette signed by the mayor, Rafael Esteban Santamaría, dated November 9, 2026. Applications may only be submitted within ten calendar days from the date of publication.

Competitive bidding and 12,000 euro budget

The procedure is resolved under a competitive bidding regime, meaning that the grants will be distributed among applicants according to the criteria of the specific guidelines and not on a first-come, first-served basis. The total amount of the call, 12,000 euros, is charged to the budgetary application 3410.480.00 of the municipal budgets for the 2026 year.

The regulatory framework consists of the General Grant Ordinance of the Marchamalo City Council, dated May 12, 2023, together with the specific guidelines of this call, and the following regulations:

• Law 38/2003, of November 17, General Law on Subsidies.
• Royal Decree 886/2006, of July 21, which approves the General Regulation of the Law on Subsidies.
• Law 39/2015, of October 1, on the Common Administrative Procedure of Public Administrations.
• Royal Decree 130/2019, of March 8, which regulates the National Database of Subsidies and the publicity of subsidies and other public aid.

The declared objective is to regulate the regime for granting and justifying subsidies to sports entities and clubs, as well as individual athletes, for the promotion of sports and physical activity in the municipality.

Clubs based in Marchamalo and registered athletes residing in the municipality

The call distinguishes two beneficiary profiles, who must also meet the requirements of Article 6 of the guidelines:

• Non-profit sports clubs and entities, legally constituted and registered in the corresponding administrative registry and in the Registry of Entities of the municipality of Marchamalo, with a fiscal and social address within the municipal boundaries.
• Federated individual athletes, with a current federation license and registered as residents in Marchamalo.

Therefore, entities based in other municipalities and non-federated athletes are excluded, even if they reside in the town, as a current license is expressly required.

Ten calendar days from publication in the BOP

The application period is 10 calendar days from the publication of the summary in the BOP of Guadalajara, that is, from November 11, 2026, which concentrates the process right in the first fortnight of the month. This is a remarkably short timeframe compared to the twenty business days usual in many municipal grant calls.

The full text of the call and the rest of the relevant information are available in the National Grants Database (http://www.pap.minhap.gob.es/bdnstrans/es/index) and on the Marchamalo City Council website (www.marchamalo.com), where the complete specific guidelines can be consulted. The summary includes a verification code on the bulletin’s electronic office (e2117dc3f1c2d68a4bd009049456e40171cf48c9) to certify its authenticity.

Impact on local sports

The call arrives with the sports season already underway and local entities facing current expenses for equipment, travel, and competitions. The 12,000 euros represent the only municipal line published in the provincial bulletin for the promotion of grassroots sports in Marchamalo for this fiscal year, meaning the distribution will condition the economic planning of the clubs until the end of the season.
