Sports Promotion Act: Who the top associations are afraid of

The article discusses the proposed Sportfördergesetz (Sport Promotion Act), which aims to allocate 361.7 million euros from the tax revenue to elite sports in Germany starting next year. The law includes measures such as ensuring trainer fair compensation, implementing the 'Safe Sport Kodex' to protect athletes from abuse, and establishing a central Spitzensportagentur (Elite Sports Agency). While the law is seen as a significant step forward by politicians and sports organizations, there are concerns about potential overreach and control by the agency. The article highlights tensions around the composition of the agency's governing board, particularly regarding representation of athlete interests and perceived influence from government bodies.
