After having stated that they had not received their financial incentives for five months, the head of this State Portfolio announced that the payment corresponding to the previous year was concluded. “Fulfilling our commitment from day one, today, Tuesday, March 26, the Ministry of Sports has completed the payment corresponding to sports stimuli for the year 2023, for the benefit of high-performance athletes,” he stated.
