The number of members of French sports clubs increased significantly after the Summer Olympics in Paris, with increases in various sports. Swimming clubs recorded an increase of 8-10%, possibly due to the successes of Léon Marchand. Table tennis clubs even recorded an increase of 20% thanks to Félix Lebrun’s strong performance. In fencing clubs the number rose by 25%, and in triathlon by as much as 32%. Team sports such as volleyball, rugby and handball also recorded increases. Even sports for people with disabilities have seen an increase. However, inadequate sports facilities and a lack of infrastructure could pose problems for clubs, especially given planned cuts to sports as part of budget negotiations in France.

After the Summer Olympics in Paris The number of members of French sports clubs has increased significantly. As the broadcaster France Info reported with reference to several statistics, the numbers in various sports increased.
According to this, swimming clubs recorded an increase in membership of eight to ten percent compared to the previous year. The Olympic victories of the French swimmer Léon Marchand could also have contributed to this. The strong performance of table tennis star Félix Lebrun is likely to have contributed to the 20 percent increase in table tennis membership.
In other disciplines the increase is even higher: around 25 percent more French people are active in fencing clubs than last year, and in triathlon the number even rose by a full 32 percent. The same applies to team sports. There was an increase in volleyball as well as rugby and handball. The Paris Paralympics also seem to have brought about an upswing: the number of members also grew in sports for people with disabilities.
However, the boom is also causing problems for some clubs. According to France Info, the reasons for this include inadequate sports facilities and a lack of infrastructure. The situation could get even worse: in the budget negotiations currently underway in France, savings in sports are planned, among other things.
