The call is named “ANNUAL 2026” and is processed through competitive grants.

The extract of the agreements, with reference 2026/ASXGL/000051, states that the matter was incorporated into the agenda as an urgent item.

The framework of the Strategic Grant Plan

In the same session, the Local Government Board reported on the mayoral decree modifying the content of Annex I of the Strategic Grant Plan of the Pontevedra City Council, in the grant files by competency area. This is modification number 2 of the year 2026, referenced as 2026/PES/000001.

This instrument is what organizes the municipal aid lines by areas of competence, such that the sports call is framed within the set of grants that the council provides for the fiscal year.

Other agreements of the session

• Extension of the execution period for lot 4 of the bituminous surface rehabilitation works of the road network and public spaces of the council (2026/CONTPRORR/000032).

The approval of the bases and the call for applications opens the municipal procedure for sports grants for the 2026 financial year, such that interested individuals and entities already have a subsidy line aimed at sports practice and participation in official competitions. The agreement is passed via urgency, which places the call among the matters handled in the session of September 17 and allows the procedure to be activated within the calendar year to which it refers.
