The Finnish Ministry of Education and Culture is granting over 4.2 million euros in support to sports academies and training centers.

A total of 4,235,000 euros in support was distributed to 22 operators. The purpose of the support is to develop operating environments for top-level sports, strengthen the conditions for athletes' dual careers and training, and promote the national development of top-level sports expertise.
This year, for the first time, the support has been allocated directly to the operations of Olympic and Paralympic training centers. The Finnish Olympic training centers are Vuokatti-Ruka and Urhea in Helsinki.

- In accordance with the government program, we want to improve the conditions for athletes to advance professionally to the top of the world. It is important to enable athletes to have high-quality everyday life, study, and daily training in sports academies and key operating environments, Minister Sandra Bergqvist said in a press release.
