Paris 2024 Games Surplus of €27 Million to Boost Local Sports Development

The Paris 2024 organizing committee announced a financial surplus of €27 million, with plans to invest the majority in local sports development. Stéphane Troussel, President of Seine-Saint-Denis, is advocating for 80% of the surplus to support local communities, particularly those in need. Concerns were raised regarding the national sports budget, which is set to decrease by €174 million in 2025, conflicting with initiatives for the upcoming Games. The final distribution of the surplus is under discussion, with a statutory allocation of 20% to the French National Olympic and Sports Committee.
