Land Burgenland

The State of Burgenland is the regional government of the Austrian federal state of Burgenland and is responsible, through Department 9 – EU, Society and Funding Affairs, Division for Sports and Club Support, for the allocation of sports funding. In the area of sports facility and sports infrastructure construction, it supports Burgenland sports clubs, municipalities, as well as natural and legal persons based in Burgenland. Funding is provided for new constructions, conversions, and renovations of sports facilities, as well as the establishment of barrier-free infrastructure. The aim is to improve the framework conditions for both grassroots and elite sports, ensure the sustainable use of infrastructure, and financially relieve sports clubs and municipalities in the implementation of their construction projects.

The state of Burgenland aims to establish a high-quality sports infrastructure in the long term as "Sportland Burgenland," thereby providing optimal conditions for sports clubs and municipalities. We specifically support measures that contribute to the sustainable use and optimization of existing facilities and the creation of new sports venues. Our objective is to strengthen both grassroots and elite sports, promote youth development, and develop barrier-free offerings for all population groups.

The funding for sports facilities and sports grounds is aimed at Burgenland sports clubs with their registered office in Burgenland and affiliation to a Burgenland specialist association, Burgenland municipalities acting on behalf of a sports club, as well as natural and legal persons based in Burgenland who meet the requirements of the Burgenland Sports Act and comply with the EU de minimis aid regulations. Funding is provided for new construction, conversion, renovation, and barrier-free adaptation of sports facilities and sports grounds in accordance with the sports funding guidelines of the State of Burgenland.
