Good news for Madrid athletes. The Community of Madrid has opened the deadline to request new aid for those athletes who have participated in official sports competitions during 2025, both nationally and internationally. These subsidies have a total endowment of 1.5 million euros and aim to recognize effort and sporting results, in addition to helping promising young sports players achieve their goals due to the enormous economic and logistical effort that is sometimes involved in continuing to compete, due to multiple trips, sports equipment or obstacles in the training and work environment.
The application must be made electronically through the electronic headquarters for aid, scholarships and subsidies of the Community of Madrid, where the procedure is already available. The period will remain open until April 13, 2026, as indicated on the official platform itself.
One more aid from the autonomous communities aimed especially at young people, like the one that the Generalitat of Catalonia is also active in supporting young people studying competitive exams.
Aid of up to 6,000 euros depending on sports results
The amount of this aid varies depending on sporting performance and the type of discipline. In the case of individual sports, subsidies can reach up to 6,000 euros, while in team sports the maximum will be 3,000 euros.
Specifically, the amounts are distributed as follows:
Individual sports:
- Up to 6,000 euros for Spanish champions, leaders of the national ranking or top-level international medalists
- 4,000 euros for medalists in Spanish championships or outstanding positions in international competitions
- 2,000 euros for those who obtain national medals or are among the top three in the ranking
- 1,000 euros for those under 20 years of age with a medal in their category
Team sports:
- 3,000 euros for Spanish champions or international medalists
- 1,000 euros for national medalists or those ranked among the top eight in international competitions
These aids will be granted on a competitive basis, so the sporting merits obtained during the year 2025 will be valued.
