More than half will have to close shop if the lockdown lasts three months longer, with worse prospects for a longer shutdown
More than half the country’s sports bodies will fold if the lockdown environment persists for another three months‚ a survey reveals.
They have compiled a report showing the survey results with the tagline “Help us save our sporting federations”, which has been submitted to the department of sports‚ arts & culture. The ministry unlocked R150m in relief funding for individual sports people and artists‚ but organisations were not targeted.
Other proposals were that the department “double and expedite” annual allocations to federations and permit play without spectators and allow an earlier return to coaching. The report did not say which federations participated in the survey‚ but it is understood that many of them are Olympic codes.
