Caldogno: A Champion for Local Sports
the municipality of Caldogno is deeply committed to fostering a thriving sports community. Recognizing the transformative power of athletics, the town has allocated over €100,000 to support local sports clubs and enhance sports infrastructure.
This year alone, the municipality has disbursed €34,000 in funding to seven prominent sports organizations: Leodari Caldogno ASD, ASD Cresole 80, ASD Basket Sportschool, ASD Pallavolo Caldogno, asd Atletica Caldogno, Asd Equipe Judo Caldogno, and Asd Caldogno cyclists.
Each young athlete within these clubs receives a €50 subsidy to offset expenses. Additionally, the municipality provides targeted grants for event association, amateur activity support, and addressing specific club needs that arise throughout the year.
Further demonstrating its dedication to youth engagement, Caldogno has earmarked €4,300 to sustain a program that encourages participation in sports. This initiative enables young individuals to join various sporting disciplines free of charge during their first year of involvement.
Beyond direct club support, Caldogno invests significantly in maintaining and upgrading its sports facilities. Football clubs receive €37,000 in annual operational support, supplemented by additional funds for facility management and safety enhancements.
Looking ahead, a major project is slated for 2025: the installation of a new lighting system at the Rettorgole camp. This €77,000 endeavor will be partially funded by a €41,600 contribution from the Region.
“Our commitment to supporting local sports remains steadfast,” emphasizes Gabriele Toniello, the town’s sports councilor. “We strive to provide over 550 athletes with well-maintained, safe, and agreeable spaces. This dedication extends to our schools as well. In 2025, we will commence a crucial project to seismically reinforce and improve the energy efficiency of the middle school gymnasium.”
this unwavering support for sports reflects Caldogno’s belief in the profound impact athletics has on individual well-being, community cohesion, and overall societal growth.
