The La Seu d'Urgell City Council has recently approved new guidelines governing the allocation of grants to sports clubs in the municipality, aiming to support their operational expenses.

This new regulatory framework, developed by the Municipal Sports Service, seeks to optimize the management of public resources and facilitate access to aid. Grants will be awarded through a competitive process, ensuring that all entities meeting the requirements and having sufficient budgetary credit can access them.
Among the main novelties, the eligible concepts have been clearly defined, now including the purchase of sports equipment, transportation costs, federative licenses, referee fees, as well as personnel expenses and professional support (administrative, legal, or fiscal). Furthermore, a more detailed scoring system has been implemented, structured into three blocks: sports criteria (licenses, grassroots and women's sports), social criteria (projects for vulnerable individuals and inclusive sports), and local criteria (club seniority and use of municipal facilities). A minimum score of 25 points will be required to qualify for the grant.
Another significant improvement is the simplification of the justification process, which will now be carried out exclusively online, thereby reducing the administrative burden for clubs. To be eligible, entities must be based in La Seu d'Urgell, be legally constituted, be up-to-date with their tax obligations (including the City Council and the Parc del Segre), and have sports promotion as their primary objective.
The period for eligible expenses will cover the entire calendar year, from January 1 to December 31. Once the Local Government Board publishes the call, clubs will be able to submit their applications within the specified timeframe.

"The sports fabric is key for the revitalization of the city, but also for promoting health, generating values, and building social cohesion, which is why it was essential to recover these aids."

The municipal group Junts per la Seu has celebrated the approval of these new guidelines, emphasizing that the reactivation of grants for sports clubs was a fundamental condition in the negotiation of the municipal budgets for 2026. They highlighted their "decisive role" in drafting the new guidelines, with specific contributions to make them fairer, more balanced, and more useful for all clubs, avoiding penalizing smaller ones and promoting social criteria.
