The corona pandemic has also left its mark on the country's sports clubs - they have lost members.
These are now to be won back and newcomers to be recruited.
Halle - The State Sports Association of Saxony-Anhalt (LSB) is currently trying to reclaim ground lost by the corona pandemic with a poster campaign. Under the motto "Comeback", the 3049 sports clubs between Altmark and Burgenland are to be supported in winning back and new members, as the LSB announced on request. Last year the sports clubs in the country lost more than 10,000 members and eleven clubs stopped working.
"That is less than we had to fear, but still a serious turning point in the sporting landscape," said press spokesman Frank Löper.
The disabled and rehabilitation sports association of Saxony-Anhalt with a decrease of 3283 members and the state gymnastics association with a decrease of 1542 were particularly affected by the decline in membership. explained Löper.
