Residents of this federal state must actively participate in the region's sports life. To receive the additional funds, they should join one of the sports clubs and actively participate in training and activities. The only thing they need to do is submit the appropriate application.

The portal karlsruhe-insider.de emphasizes that in this way, the federal state wants to encourage youth to engage in sports. The program is set to launch in 2025.

North Rhine-Westphalia is the largest federal state in Germany by population. Data from 2022 show that the federal state had 18 million residents. The region's capital is Düsseldorf, and the largest city is Cologne. The most well-known sports team is Borussia Dortmund, this year's Champions League finalist in soccer.
