Sports Clubs Face KPI-Linked Funding

Parliament is set to debate proposals to tighten governance in sports clubs and federations, linking funding to performance while preserving their independence.

A committee report recommends clearer accountability, measurable targets and improved training for board members to raise standards across the sector. It also backs drafting a new sports law to replace the current framework, which officials say is outdated and too broad.

The General Sports Authority said it is preparing a governance charter and new rules, including performance-based funding and stricter oversight of private sports academies.

Clubs and federations have broadly supported the move, calling for transparent reporting, annual assessments and stronger financial controls, while urging a gradual rollout to help smaller organisations adapt.

Lawmakers are expected to review the proposal in the coming sessions.
