A. 5,742 AMATEUR SOCIETIES REGISTERED IN 2022 (EUR 11,662,500)

To calculate the amount each amateur association receives, with a minimum base amount of €1,700 (increased by 6.25% over their previous funding), the following criteria are taken into account:

• the number of sports that he cultivates and for which he has received special sports recognition from the GGA (50 units for each sport),
• the number of working coaches indicated in the Electronic Register of Sports Associations (25 points for each coach),
• the number of athletes registered in the association, as indicated in the Electronic Register of Sports Associations. In any case, the number of athletes cannot exceed 50 per declared coach (1 unit for each athlete),
• annual expenses of the association, reflected in the report, which is declared in the Electronic Register of Sports Associations (0.001 units per euro of expenses).

After adding the number of shares of all beneficiary associations, the resulting amount is divided by the total amount due to amateur associations to obtain the value of one unit. Subsequently, the value resulting from the division is multiplied by the units of each association to arrive at the total amount it receives.

Especially for clubs belonging to the National Sports Federation for People with Disabilities (51), the Hellenic Sports Federation for the Deaf (7) and the Sports Federation for Kidney and Transplant Patients (7), the base amount is increased by 50%. up to 2550 euros.

The total amount for each category, which is distributed equally among all participating teams, is calculated based on the participation of at least 12 teams. If less than 12 teams participate, then the category receives a proportionally reduced amount according to the number of participating teams (for example, if nine teams participate, it receives 9/12 of the amount allocated to it).

In addition, 7% of the amount corresponding to each amateur category is paid for organizing championships in the respective Federation, if it has responded – by sending the required data – to the Thousands scoring system.

Thus, they are paid:

C. 21 EUROPEAN TOURNAMENT TEAM (EUR 1,982,500)

The calculation of the amount received by the 21 eligible teams participating in European competitions this year is based on their points as follows:

European competitions are divided into three (3) capacity categories:
1st division (Champions League, Champions Cup, Euroleague, etc.).

2nd category (European Cup, Cup Winners’ Cup, etc.)

3rd category – other European competitions.

With his participation, each team automatically receives:

10 credits for the 1st category
08 units for the 2nd category
06 units for the 3rd category
Those leagues (eg First Women’s National Team, Futsal) that are required to participate in one European event and have only one representative belong to the 3rd category.

For every match that a team participates in, regardless of organization, it gains one unit more.

Depending on the points accumulated by each group, the amount attributable to it is calculated on the total amount corresponding to a particular category. After summing the units of all groups, they are divided by the total amount corresponding to the category, so that the result of the division is the cost of one unit. The amount received as unit cost is then multiplied by each group’s units to arrive at the amount to which it is entitled.

And as the European tournaments and the participation of some of our teams continue, €1,549,456 has already been distributed (78% of the total €1,982,500) and the remaining 22%, with the final determination of the value of each unit, will be distributed. paid before the end of the current racing season.
