The Board has modified the bases of its subsidies to allow high-level clubs and sports corporations to access funds intended to cover travel or material expenses. Until now, these professional teams were excluded from the grants. The measure aims to help local clubs maintain their competitiveness without needing to increase fees or prices for fans, thereby protecting family finances.
From bureaucracy to big data: how the funds will be managed 📊
The technical implementation of these subsidies will require clubs to submit digital receipts and detailed budgets through online platforms enabled by the administration. The use of tracking systems with artificial intelligence is expected to allow real-time auditing of where each euro goes, preventing misappropriation. Additionally, entities must integrate their accounting systems with the regional database to streamline payments and reduce traditional paperwork.
And the fan, so happy watching the stars travel 😅
So, while the average fan eats a chorizo sandwich in the stands to save money, the club will be able to pay for the charter flight and top-of-the-line boots with public money. Sure, no one will raise the season ticket price. Anything so the team doesn't get relegated and the president can keep showing off at trendy restaurants. Good thing the fan's wallet isn't affected... or not so much.
