Cabinet makes 110 million euros available for ailing sports clubs Inland

A large part of the money is intended to cancel the rent for the period March 1 to June 1. Van Rijn: For many sports clubs, rent is the largest cost item on the budget. More than 11,000 sports clubs are supported with this measure.

The other part of 20 million euros goes to sports clubs with their own accommodation. These associations are faced with loss of turnover and recurring charges and are often not eligible for government schemes. Each sports association is a one-off allowance of up to 2500 euros. “For example, associations can resume training for youth and set up activities for non-members.”

With the 110 million euros, the cabinet meets the greatest need for sports associations. The clubs do not have large reserves and extra effort is being asked of them just now.
