200,000 in subsidies for sports clubs
The City of Montpellier is particularly committed to promoting accessibility to physical and sporting activities. As part of its 2023-2026 "Ambition Sport" sports action plan, it is mobilizing alongside clubs to support them in their sports projects.
In 2024, its support for investments by sports associations thus amounts to €200,000.
Objective: to enable associations to finance equipment and materials designed to improve their sporting standards.

- IT and digital tools;
- The purchase of equipment or materials directly linked to the structure's activity;
- The purchase of passenger transport vehicles (minibuses) with priority given to the most environmentally-friendly acquisitions.
Only expenses incurred from the date of submission of the application file to the call for projects and duly justified are considered eligible. All expenses incurred prior to this date will not be taken into account.

- The viability of its economic model, both in terms of investment and operation.
