Sports federations and Olympic/Paralympic Committees: direct grant awards for the 2026 financial year

Royal Decree 637/2026 regulates the direct award of grants for the year 2026 to Spanish sports federations, the Spanish Olympic Committee, and the Spanish Paralympic Committee. The regulation justifies the absence of competitive bidding on the grounds that these entities perform exclusive public functions and hold sole responsibility for their respective sports disciplines (Art. 14 Law 39/2022). The objective is to ensure the continuity of official sport and Spain's international representation.

In 2 key points

  1. Grants are awarded directly as there is no plurality of competent entities for the functions of each federation (texto fuente)
  2. Subsidies are intended for the fulfilment of public functions and the development of high-performance sport (texto fuente)

How it affects those involved

For sports federations, the Olympic Committee, and the Paralympic Committee, the regulation ensures direct funding to fulfill their public functions and develop high-performance sport, without the need to compete with other entities for the same competencies. This enables the execution of technical training programmes, the organisation of official competitions, and the management of national teams under the supervision of the Higher Sports Council.
