Trouble at clubs
Automatically saved draft
A sports policy disaster! Around two million euros in EU funding came from the federal government to the state of Carinthia for switching to green energy. Sports clubs could therefore receive 100 percent funding for switching to energy-saving alternatives. However, the city of Klagenfurt completely missed out on this. .
A sports policy disaster! That's what the city of Klagenfurt did. Around two million euros in EU funding came from the federal government to the state of Carinthia for the green energy transition. Carinthia's soccer clubs also benefit from this resilience fund to promote sport. For example, the infrastructure in Eberndorf and Kühnsdorf has been renovated and refurbished - which significantly reduces the clubs' electricity costs.
The clubs in Klagenfurt also showed interest in this project. Around €400,000 was available for the replacement or conversion to LED floodlights. However, the city's politicians failed to do so. "The confirmation that implementation would take place by the end of the year was not submitted by the city on time. We even reminded them," said Arno Arthofer, head of regional sports.
Klagenfurt's mayor is annoyed
The mayor of Klagenfurt, Christian Scheider, is annoyed and urges the responsible members of the city council in combination with the specialist departments to fulfill their obligations and collect the funding. "Something like this must not happen again, where we lose funding due to negligence," says Mayor Scheider. "For years, the state has had a wide variety of requests that have not been processed. And now that we have the chance to receive one of the grants, we are not collecting the money. That is absolutely incomprehensible to me."
ASK to benefit
However, because 25,000 euros have now been returned from other projects, Klagenfurt will still receive some - albeit much less. This is now to be divided between Wölfnitz, Viktring and ASK. The managing president of the latter, Franz Petritz, was a sports councillor in Klagenfurt until July.
