Greek sports infrastructure funding initiatives

Overview

Greek Deputy Minister of Sports Ioannis Vroutsis has announced several funding packages aimed at upgrading sports infrastructure across various regions.

In Serres, approximately 11.16 million euros has been secured through the Ministry of Finance’s Public Investment Program to modernize and expand the Serres Racetrack. The project intends to bring the facility up to international standards to host pan-European and world-level sporting events.

Additional commitments have been made for Drama and Thessaloniki.
