The Departmental Assembly of Antioquia approved on Tuesday a notable increase in the Pro Deporte rate, going from 1% to 2.5%. This measure, which received 23 votes in favor and none against, seeks to strengthen the budget allocated to the promotion of sports and recreation in the region.
This change is expected to increase the financing of Indeportes from 18,164 million pesos in 2024 to around 45,000 million in 2025.
The rate increase represents a direct response to the growing needs of the sports sector in Antioquia, which has faced financial challenges in recent years. With these new funds, it is expected that various initiatives and programs can be implemented that will benefit athletes, leagues and communities throughout the department.
The increase in the Pro Sport rate will ensure compliance with several essential programs. These include financial support for athletes, the promotion of local leagues and the organization of institutional games, as well as training for coaches and sports administrators. In addition, the improvement of sporting venues will be facilitated, which will benefit both professional and amateur athletes.
The director of Indeportes, in statements after the approval, highlighted that this increase is crucial to resolve financial problems that have affected the quality and quantity of services offered in the sports field.
The effect of the increase in the Pro Sport rate will be felt on multiple levels. High-performance athletes, as well as those who participate in recreational activities, will benefit from greater access to resources, training and competitions. Local leagues, which often face financial difficulties, will be able to count on stronger support, allowing them to offer better conditions to their athletes.
Communities will also play a fundamental role in this transformation. The increase in funding is expected to help boost sporting activities in rural and urban areas, thus promoting a more active and healthy lifestyle among the population. This is particularly important in a context where physical activity is vital for the general well-being of citizens.
