The liquidation of Paris 2024 is approaching, and the surplus will be much higher than expected ! The bonus should finally turn around 76 million euros. “Excellent news, says Tony Estanguet. This is money that goes to sports. It is a legacy for sportA very important legacy in a budgetary context that we know is very difficult." The CNOSF, threatened with a reduction in its state subsidy, will in fact receive 20% of this bonus. 60% will land on the Paris 2024 endowment fund for " finance projects in French sport " and 20% will go to the IOC, " with perhaps the possibility that some, or even all, could be used by the 2030 Games in France ».
"The endowment fund has decided to be able to support projects with three main objectives: celebrating the Paris 2024 Games (for example through the return of the cauldron), supporting the development of projects initiated by Paris 2024, supporting athletes who are key players in the Games”, specifies Estanguet. The last COJOP board meeting will be held on June 17.
