📋 Tender Overview
The Ministry of Sport and Tourism will provide Polish cyclists with funding for their preparations for the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad Paris 2024. By the decision of the Minister of Sport and Tourism, S?awomir Nitras, the ministry has developed a new mechanism for co-financing the best Polish athletes. Funds for Polish cyclists will be disbursed through a selected association of nationwide associations operating in the sport of cycling. In addition, the Ministry itself will pay sports scholarships to members of the PZKol national team.
Until 2023, funding for Polish cyclists who are preparing for the Games was provided by the Ministry of Sport and Tourism through the Polish Olympic Committee. This year, however, the POC refused to act as an intermediary in the transfer of funds. This put the ministry, but above all the representatives of Polish in cycling, in a very difficult situation. In recent weeks, the Ministry has been working intensively on creating an alternative way to subsidize the best Polish cyclists. A new solution has been developed, thanks to which funds for the preparation of cyclists can be immediately activated.
The preparation of Polish athletes for the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad Paris 2024 is a priority for us. This year alone, we have allocated PLN 170 million for this purpose.
