Higher Education Institutions Challenged to Channel 50 Euros from Tuition Fees to Sports

SAPO Notícias13 September 2026 at 11:56

Diogo Braz, president of FADU (Federation of University Sports), challenged higher education institutions to channel 50 euros from students' tuition fees to Sports. This proposal comes in the context of a debate on the valorization of physical activity in the university environment.

The president of FADU argues that physical activity should be at the center of higher education strategy, considering it essential for the integral development of university students.

Braz also warned about the lack of adequate sports facilities in higher education institutions, identifying this as one of the main barriers to students' sports practice.

The proposal to allocate a portion of tuition fees to Sports aims to create conditions to reverse this reality and promote greater student participation in physical activities.

Why this matters

Higher education students in Portugal may see a significant reinforcement of sports programs at their institutions, if the measure is implemented, resulting in better conditions for the practice of physical activity. This proposal comes after meetings between FADU and the government, signaling a potential policy change in university sports funding.
