The Board of the Municipal Sports Foundation of Castellón City Council has approved a budget of 588,000 euros to fund the activities of sixteen elite sports clubs in the city.

The measure aims to strengthen municipal support for entities competing in top national categories. To facilitate the clubs' financial management, the council has established a 70% advance payment of the total granted amount, representing an initial disbursement of 411,600 euros.
As indicated by the Councilor for Sports, this advance system responds to a commitment made to the entities to prevent them from having to use their own resources to cover competition expenses. The remaining 30% of the grant will be paid once the justification of the amount and the corresponding activity report are submitted, with a deadline of September 15, 2026.
In addition to elite aid, the Board has approved the projects for the 2026-2027 Municipal Sports Promotion Program. This initiative includes sports schools, municipal games, activities for people with disabilities, and school campaigns, with the goal of consolidating the city as a benchmark for sports practice.
