“This is an unprecedented, unique program, an Olympic record from the point of view of investment in sport”, said the Minister of Parliamentary Affairs, responsible for Sports, stressing that these 65 million euros are an “additional value” to the budget for the sector provided for in the State Budget.

The 2024-2028 Sports Program Contract signed, at the headquarters of the Portuguese Olympic Committee, includes five measures and 14 programs, with the government official highlighting that the investment growth rate means an increase of 46.1% in 2025 alone.
