Slovenian sports funding and scholarship initiatives

Overview

The Foundation for Financing Sports Organizations in Slovenia has approved a record budget of 15.5 million euros for the upcoming year, marking a one million euro increase over the current year. The funding is divided into 8.9 million euros for various sports programs—including elite competition, youth education, and sports for persons with disabilities—and 3.72 million euros for the construction of sports facilities.

In conjunction with this budget, the Olympic Committee of Slovenia, the Ministry of Education, Science and Youth, and the Foundation have launched a public call for sports scholarships for the 2026/2027 academic year. These scholarships are intended for promising athletes aged 15 to 26 and top-tier international competitors to assist them in balancing education with competitive sports.
