Sanlúcar allocates 30,000 euros to sports with only ten days remaining

The Sanlúcar la Mayor City Council has opened the call for sports grants for the 2026 season, endowed with 30,000 euros, through the publication of the summary of its guidelines in the Official Gazette of the Province of Seville (BOP) number 220, dated this Friday, November 13, 2026, with reference BOP-SE-2026-220015. The grants are awarded on a competitive basis and are aimed at athletes registered in the municipality, as well as non-profit clubs, associations, and sports schools with a registered office in the town. The deadline for submitting applications is only ten calendar days starting from the day following the publication of the summary, therefore expiring on November 23, 2026.

The summary, registered under number 224958 and identifier BDNS 941568, develops the Mayoral Resolution no. 1356/2026, of November 3, 2026, by which the guidelines were approved. The full text of the 27-page guidelines had already been published in BOP number 217, on Tuesday, November 10, and can be consulted both in the National Grants Database and on the municipal electronic office (sanlucarlamayor.sedeelectronica.es). The call is processed under the General Grants Law 38/2003, of November 17, and the specific ordinance on sports approved by the Plenary on September 22, 2022 (BOP number 256, of November 5, 2022).

Two lines of aid and credit distribution

The total amount of 30,000 euros is allocated in the budgetary application 0600/342/48003 of the 2026 Municipal Budget and is divided into two lines:

• Line 1: up to 28,500 euros for programs and projects to promote sports through non-profit schools and clubs, participation in official competitions, and the organization of sporting activities.
• Line 2: up to 1,500 euros for individual athletes competing at the regional, national, and international levels within the official calendar of their federation.

In both cases, the amount of each grant results from applying the economic value of the point, which is obtained by dividing the money assigned to each line by the total score of the applicants. The declared objectives are to support grassroots sports and the federated practice of adolescents and youth, sustain the activity of existing clubs, promote volunteering and equality between men and women, and support the sporting practice of people with disabilities.

Requirements and exclusions

Non-profit clubs, associations, and sports schools registered in the Andalusian Registry of Sports Entities of the Regional Government of Andalusia and with a registered office in the municipality may apply for them. In the case of individual athletes, registration (empadronamiento) in Sanlúcar la Mayor for at least one year prior to the publication of the call, a valid federative license, and not being part of a club or school that has applied for the grant are required.

The following are excluded from the call:

• Sports Public Limited Companies (Sociedades Anónimas Deportivas).
• Athletes who receive aid from the ADO programs or the Andalusian Olympic Foundation in the same year.
• Individuals and entities expelled from municipal sports competitions in the previous season.
• Those who fall under the circumstances of Article 13 of the General Law on Subsidies.

Scale, processing, and justification

The assessment is carried out by a Technical Valuation Commission chaired by the mayor, with the Sports Delegate as a member and the Comptroller, and considers, among other criteria, the territorial level of the competition, sports results, overnight stays and travel distances, the qualification of the instructors, the seniority of the school, the percentage of female athletes, and the care of people with a disability exceeding 33%. For natural persons, the scale also gives priority to those who have never received a municipal grant, with up to 50 points.

Applications shall be submitted using the standardized form available at the electronic office or the General Registry. The processing includes a five-day correction period and a further five-day hearing period; the resolution has a maximum term of six months, and notification beyond this deadline opens the way for negative administrative silence. Eligible expenses must be invoiced between January 1 and December 31, 2026, and the justification must be submitted from January 1 to March 31, 2027.

The announcement is closed with the signature of the mayor-president, Raúl Castilla Gutiérrez, who signs the document in Sanlúcar la Mayor on November 4, 2026.

The call arrives with a very tight schedule: only ten calendar days to gather the project, budget, certificates of being up to date with Social Security and the Tax Agency and, in the case of schools, the list of instructors and students. For the local sports fabric, mostly composed of clubs and grassroots schools, those 30,000 euros represent the main route of municipal public funding for licenses, travel, accommodation, refereeing, and equipment, with the added factor that those who have not received these grants in previous years start with an advantage in the scale.
