2025 Call Sport Facilities Project Evaluation Begins
Optimizing Sports Facilities in Lombardy: A Strategic Initiative
Enhancing Sports Venues Across Lombardy with €30 Million Investment
The Regione Lombardia has initiated the “Sports Facilities 2025” program, a comprehensive project aimed at revitalizing public sports venues across the region. With a robust budget of €30 million in non-repayable grants, this initiative seeks to enhance the safety, energy efficiency, and accessibility of sports infrastructure throughout Lombardy.
Supporting Lombard Municipalities in Infrastructure Development
Launched in May 2025, the call is specifically designed for Lombard municipalities, either individually or in associations, that own sports facilities. The primary objective is to modernize existing infrastructure, making it more functional and in tune with the evolving needs of local communities. Available funds will cover:
- Extraordinary Maintenance
- Energy Requalification
- Regulatory Compliance
- Consumption Optimization
This strategic move will not only elevate the quality of sports offerings but also ensure the long-term sustainability of facility management across the region.
Commitment to Energy Efficiency and Cost Reduction
A key priority of the initiative is to minimize energy consumption, aiming to lower operational costs and prevent service interruptions amid fluctuating energy prices. Special emphasis is placed on empowering smaller municipalities, which often encounter difficulties in maintaining their sports facilities.
Progress and Next Steps for Project Evaluations
As the application deadline passed, 475 proposals were submitted and are now under rigorous review. Funding under Line L1, focused on smaller-scale interventions with a cap of €300,000 per project, is expected to be awarded by the end of 2025. Evaluations and financing for other funding lines will proceed in early 2026.
Aligning with Milano Cortina 2026 Legacy Goals
This measure is part of a larger strategy, linked to the upcoming Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026, designed to cultivate a lasting legacy throughout the Lombardy region. The ultimate aim is to foster the development of modern, sustainable, and inclusive sports facilities that will serve future generations.
