First portion of 2022 sport funding for Lithuanian sport announced as Ministry of Education and Culture announced  numbers of sports funding via central government.

Sport funding in Lithuania have multiple layers from both central and regional government bodies, therefore this is just the first portion of funding.

 

Interestingly enough, it was announced that all official funding for Judo were cut down to 0, due inadequate use of previous funding and arguments within Lithuanian Judo Federation. There were multiple articles surrounding disagreements within Judo community in Lithuania as multiple breakaway Judo federations started to operate in the country. Unfortunately this is only going to hurt the development of this sport even more...

 

Also no funding for Surfing, Skateboarding and inactive Luge, Skeleton and Bobsleigh federations. No funding for squash and floorball as national federations are not a part of Doping testing system. Wushu removed from funding list, might something to do with countries love for China... Loads of weird non-Olympic sports prioritised over Olympic federations.

 

Basketball loosing a lot of funding after failing to qualify for Tokyo, although further stages might increase the funding + all team sports will have additional fund distributed for team sport development (I know, funding system in Lithuania is very convoluted..)

 

Funding per federation - Stage 1 (more funding to be approved via different sources). All sums are in €:

• Aquatics (Swimming, Artistic and Diving) = 927k
• Athletics = 779k
• Rowing = 719k
• Canoeing = 547k
• Basketball = 516k
• Football = 372k
• Gymnastics = 331k
• Modern pentathlon = 303k
• Cycling = 291k
• Wrestling = 284k
• Biathlon = 235k
• Boxing = 225k
• Air Sports = 223k (Non-Olympic)
• Ice Hockey = 222k
• Orienteering = 209k (Non-Olympic)
• Kyokushin Karate = 204k (Non-Olympic) ... wtf...
• Handball = 176k
• Rugby = 164k
• Field Hockey = 149k
• Dance Sport (including Breaking) = 146k (Future Olympic)
• Sailing = 124k
• Bodybuilding = 116k (Non-Olympic)
• Shooting = 100k
• Weightlifting = 97k
• Skiing (Cross-Country, Alpine, Freestyle, Snowboarding) = 93k
• Curling = 89k
• Motor sport = 88k (Non-Olympic)
• Volleyball = 66k
• Taekwondo = 65k
• Baseball = 64k (Former Olympic)
• Sport Fishing = 60k (Non-Olympic)
• Draughts = 59k (Non-Olympic)
• Figure skating = 56k
• Water Polo = 55k
• Bike motor sports = 51k (Non-Olympic)
• Table Tennis = 50k
• Bowling = 46k (Non-Olympic)
• Tennis = 45k
• Badminton = 40k
• Chess = 37k (Non-Olympic)
• Arm Wrestling = 37k (Non-Olympic)
• Archery = 34k
• Triathlon = 28k
• Powerlifting = 26k (Non-Olympic)
• Sambo = 25k (Non-Olympic)
• Flying Disk = 22k (Non-Olympic)
• Sport Climbing = 20k
• Tug of War = 20k (Non-Olympic)
• Water Bike Sports = 19k (Non-Olympic)
• Speed Skating/Short Track = 19k
• Composition Chess = 14k (Non-Olympic)
• Kickboxing = 13k (Non-Olympic)
• Softball = 13k (Former Olympic)
• Pool = 12k (Non-Olympic)
• Fencing = 11k
• Equestrian = 10k
• Correspondence Chess = 9k (Non-Olympic)

• Water motorsports = 5k (Non-Olympic)
• Water Skiing and Wakeboarding = 5k (Non-Olympic)
• Golf = 5k
• Billiard = 1k (Non-Olympic)

OMG that is hilarious. Air Sports, Orienteering, Bodybuilding, Draughts , composition chess,  bike water sports.. Haha

 

What will arm wrestling federation do with that money I wonder!

 

I didn't know fishing can be a sport and get more funding than tennis, badminton, archery, triathlon, golf, fencing etc 

[Grassmarket 2,757]

1000 euros for billiards isn’t going to buy even a single table.  Maybe enough to renew the baize at the Parliament building.

[Fly_like_a_don 932]

Football seems to be hitting a new low in the country. From this year the funding will be just 632k $ . Imagine 400 times the population of Lithuania and still not a very drastic difference in the football funds. Tennis also seems to be slashed heavily. The federation was quite upset but I'm happy with the reason given - lack of appreciable performance. Imagine a nation where Football is below Sailing and Equestrian and cannot even compare with weightlifting or even have a thought of comparison with badminton, athletics etc

[NaBUru38 205]

The Uruguayan parliament approved its 2023/2024 budget. The Olympic Committee, National Sports Secretary, and Uruguay Sports Foundation will get a combined $UY 100 million (US$ 2.5 million) each of the next two years.

[LDOG 2,199]

The other day I heard a journalist say our entire sports budget is the same as the budget of brazilian swimming. 

[JoshMartini007 2,211]

Here's our 2022-23 funding for summer Olympic sports. This is for one year (I think it goes from April 2022 to March 2023)

 

Archery	$250,000
Artistic Swimming	$225,500
Athletics	$4,535,000
Basketball (F)	$1,150,000
Basketball (M)	$800,000
Boxing	$450,000
Canoe/Kayak	$2,315,000
Cycling	$3,494,000
Diving	$2,725,000
Fencing	$230,000
Field Hockey (M)	$575,000
Golf	$250,000
Gymnastics	$1,175,000
Judo	$1,300,000
Rowing	$4,184,900
Rugby 7s (F)	$1,050,000
Rugby 7s (M)	$575,000
Sailing	$550,000
Soccer (F)	$2,589,100
Swimming	$4,523,500
Taekwondo	$57,000
Tennis	$300,000
Triathlon	$300,000
Volleyball - Beach	$850,000
Volleyball (M)	$1,000,000
Waterpolo (F)	$925,000
Waterpolo (M)	$325,000
Weightlifting	$200,000
Wrestling	$1,050,000

So no funding for badminton, 3x3 basketball, breaking, equestrian, handball, modern pentathlon, shooting, skateboarding, sport climbing, surfing and table tennis. For traditional team sports, funding is split between genders. There's no funding for men's football and women's field hockey and volleyball.

 

That's a lot of sports without funding. We even have medal chances in some of them. At the very least we should qualify athletes in the majority of the non-funded sports. Perhaps some will see something next year since Olympic qualification will be in full swing.

 

I've always been of the opinion that each sport should get some kind of base level funding. Like if they can give taekwondo $57k they can give the others something like 25k-50k a year. It would at least help pay for travel costs to Olympic qualifiers/World Championships.

Keep in mind this funding is on top of the funding the government provides.

The Argentine government says that the total public budget for sports is 4 billion pesos (or US$ 25 million by the official exchange rate).

Of course this doesn't include other income by federations and clubs (like tickets, TV rights and sponsors), which I guess are minimal for most sports.
