Budget

What it costs
and who pays

All amounts in the plan are the authors’ estimates, and the split between payers is a proposal. Up to PLN 103.8 million of the amount could be covered by programmes that already run, if the relevant institutions include them in the programme. No funds have been granted to the reform so far.

In short

  1. PLN 450 million a year at full scale, from 2030. Of this, PLN 103.8 million is programmes that already run (2026 amounts) and PLN 346.2 million is new funding to be decided.
  2. Cost grows in stages. 2027: 148.8, 2028: 256.8, 2029: 359.3, 2030: 450 PLN million. Each next year is unlocked by a gate: the result of the previous stage.
  3. Who pays is a proposal. State budget 40%, PZPN 25%, Local governments 20%, Ekstraklasa and clubs 10%, Sponsors 5%.
  4. Investment is counted separately. Centres, bases and winter roofs in 2027–2030: PLN 566.7 million including the reserve (variant B of the cost estimate).
  5. Status today. No funds have been granted to the reform. All amounts are the authors’ estimates to be checked against data from PZPN, the Ministry of Sport and local governments.
