The Ministry of the Interior has now confirmed what Prime Minister Markus Söder had announced. The association fee will be increased to 40 million euros this year.
The corona crisis has far-reaching effects on organized sport in the Free State of Bavaria and in some cases brings immense economic damage to Bavarian clubs. To this end, the responsible Ministry of the Interior confirmed what Prime Minister Markus Söder had announced in a government statement: The Council of Ministers has decided to double the association allowance this year by an additional 20 to 40 million euros.
Joachim Herrmann: "We don't leave our clubs alone in this exceptional situation"
According to Sports Minister Joachim Herrmann, the Bavarian sports clubs urgently need quick and unbureaucratic support in the current Corona crisis: “We are not leaving our clubs alone in this exceptional situation. With the doubling of the association flat rate, help is available everywhere and quickly where it is needed. ”Important:“ Every association that has already applied for the association flat rate this year automatically receives double that amount. The clubs do not have to submit any additional applications, nor is a further examination by the authorities necessary. "Jörg Ammon, President of the Bavarian State Sports Association (BLSV), welcomes the measures taken by the state government:" To double the club fee in this difficult time , is a strong signal from politics to our sports clubs. We are very grateful for this support. "
What is a club flat rate?
The club lump sum is paid annually in accordance with the sports funding guidelines of the Free State of Bavaria to support the clubs' sports operations. The amount of the association fee due to the respective associations is determined with the help of so-called member units, whereby the memberships of children, adolescents and young adults as well as the use of trainer licenses are particularly weighted. In 2019, a membership unit was valued at 0.29 euros, the BLSV announced in its press release.
