Evaluation criteria

The amount of the contribution is determined by the product of several factors.

The call reinforces municipal support for the local sporting fabric, allowing clubs and individual athletes from the municipality to finance their activities and official competitions during the 2026 fiscal year, within a context of commitment to grassroots sports and the competitive projection of the Town.
