The importance of sport
The role of sport goes far beyond physical activity. As Ulli Sauer emphasized, sport makes a crucial contribution to health and a sense of community in society. In times when many people were isolated due to the corona pandemic, the great importance of sport cannot be denied.
With its funding efforts, the Sports Foundation shows how important it is to provide resources for sport and health even in difficult times. Sport is and remains a cornerstone of our community, and the Sports Foundation's commitment is clear evidence of this.
