COP delivers more than €4.8M for women's sport and sports facilities support

SAPO Notícias14 September 2026 at 15:58

The Portuguese Olympic Committee delivered more than 4.8 million euros in support after completing the evaluation of applications submitted under the sports development programme contract.

This funding is intended for two main areas: support for women's sport and the improvement of sports facilities.

The decision was announced this Monday, marking the conclusion of the evaluation process for the applications received.

The total amount exceeds 4.8 million euros and represents a significant investment in the promotion of sport in Portugal, covering both the development of sports practice among women and the improvement of available infrastructure.

Why this matters

The financial support of more than 4.8 million euros will directly benefit athletes and sports entities that promote women's sport and the construction or improvement of sports infrastructures in Portugal, contributing to gender equality in sport and to the development of national sports practice. This decision comes following the evaluation of applications to the sports development programme contract, defining investment priorities in the sector.
