📋 Tender Overview
The National Assembly approved an amendment to the Act on providing financial resources for investments in sports infrastructure in the Republic of Slovenia in the years from 2023, which extends the period during which funds for investments in sports infrastructure will be provided.
The law adopted in 2022 foresees the provision of financial resources for investments in sports infrastructure in the total amount of 150 million euros in the period from 2022 to 2027. The amendment proposed by the government and approved by the National Assembly maintains the total amount of funds, but extends the period by three years. in which the funds will be provided, i.e. from 2023 to 2030. The amounts of funds allocated annually are also changing, in the period from 2025 to 2030, 20 million euros will be earmarked for investments in sports infrastructure, and in 2024, 22.6 million euros ( taking into account reallocations of unused funds from 2023). The annual volume of funds may be higher by the amount of unrealized funds from previous years, but it may not exceed 40 million euros.
The Ministry of Economy, Tourism and Sport previously presented the proposal for the extension of funding to the Olympic Committee of Slovenia, representatives of all three associations of municipalities and the Expert Council for Sports, whereby understanding was shown regarding the necessary changes. With the proposal, the government wanted to adapt to the resulting public financial situation in the event of the floods in August 2023, since the restoration of the damage requires a substantial financial contribution from the state. It is particularly important that the extension of the period enables the municipalities to more easily co-finance projects, while at the same time preparing quality professional bases for the placement of facilities of regional and national importance. Namely, a ten-year national sports program is being prepared, which will also include a strategy for the development of sports infrastructure in the Republic of Slovenia. It is the most important national document in the field of sports in Slovenia, which will be discussed and adopted by the National Assembly of the Republic of Slovenia this year.
