The Government of the Province of Santa Fe, through the Secretariat of Sport, will present the programme "Better with sport" and "Support for community sport and sports training". The activity will take place on Tuesday morning, March 25, at La Redonda in the city of Santa Fe. It will be attended by the provincial senators who, together with the Secretariat of Sports, will accompany the municipalities and communes that adhere to the programme in the execution and implementation of the programme.
It is an action that has as a backdrop the South American Games 2026, of the Odesur, which will be held in the province with venues in Rosario, Santa Fe and Rafaela. The province has earmarked 90 million dollars for this sporting event, which will feature athletes from all over the subcontinent in September next year, and which will result in a sporting infrastructure never seen before in the province of Santa Fe, with venues for all disciplines.
Regarding the "Better with Sport" programme, the Minister of Equality and Human Development, Victoria Tejeda, said: "We believe in the power of sport as an engine for growth and transformation. We want children and young people to have more opportunities for personal and sporting development. Santa Fe is a true breeding ground for great athletes and in order to continue developing talent it is essential to support them with concrete policies.
"We know that it is not enough just to generate programmes, but that it is essential to accompany them with concrete resources. That is why these initiatives represent another great investment by the Province of Santa Fe, reaffirming our commitment to the present and future of our youth," he concluded.
Support for community sport
The objective of the programme "Support to community sport and sports training" is to support, through economic contributions to municipalities and communes, the logistics necessary to carry out the development of different sports training activities and thus promote the social inclusion of children, adolescents and young people through sport. Its implementation will be coordinated with the municipalities and communes that adhere through agreements for the provision of non-refundable but returnable contributions of up to $ 10,000,000 for the municipalities and up to $ 3,000,000 for the communes.
Better with sport
The Better with sport programme, athletics improvement schools, aims to strengthen sports policies in coordination with intermediate organisations throughout the province. It is intended for conventional athletes between 13 and 18 years of age, as well as for athletes with disabilities who are active or who want to start a discipline. It consists of a non-refundable contribution of up to $ 10,000,000 per year to the municipalities or communes that adhere to the sub-programme.
It should be clarified that this programme is framed within the Provincial Sports Law Nº 10.554 promoted by the Chamber of Senators of the Province of Santa Fe.
