The Soccer Federation of the Balearic Islands (FFIB) will take an important step in its support for grassroots sport with the presentation of a new system for the distribution of subsidies. will take an important step in its support for grassroots sport with the presentation of a new system for the distribution of subsidies that will be voted on at the Extraordinary General Assembly, scheduled for next Saturday, February 8.
This initiative, framed within the program ‘Betamos por la Base‘, represents a significant increase in funds for soccer clubs on the islands. Specifically, the FFIB will allocate 671,000 euros to clubs for the 2023/24 and 2024/25 seasons, according to Última Hora. This increase reflects the Federation’s commitment to the development of Balearic grassroots soccer, with improvements in both the amount and management of aid. Among the main new features is the increase in the number of balls provided to the teams, which will go from 25 to 50 per club, significantly improving the sports equipment. Likewise, the number of beneficiary entities is expected to grow by 70% with respect to the previous season, from 189 to 253 clubs that will be able to access these funds. Another innovative aspect of the program, as reported this morning by Última Hora, is the redistribution of the income generated by the Portal del Federado, the FFIB’s digital management tool. In a unique model at the state level, 70% of this income will go directly to the clubs, prioritizing their economic welfare over the Federation’s own expenses, as happens in other communities. In addition, each community of clubs will receive a guaranteed minimum amount of 1,500 euros, thanks to a combination of revenue from the Federated Portal and 1% of audiovisual rights.
