Almería’s provincial government has launched a transformative €12.5 million plan to build new sports centres and enhance recreational facilities across the province, positioning Almería to lead Andalusia in covered sports venues.
Under the “Plan de Pabellones” (Sports Hall Plan), funds will support the construction of sports halls in municipalities with populations between 1,500 and 5,000 residents, targeting communities with limited resources to foster local sports culture and active lifestyles.

The initiative includes the construction of modern, multipurpose halls and outdoor trails, providing versatile spaces for activities such as football, basketball, and indoor fitness. Local officials are excited about the potential benefits, highlighting not only the role of sports in enhancing community health but also the potential to attract regional sporting events, contributing to economic growth.
The plan represents a strategic effort to bridge infrastructure gaps in smaller towns and rural areas, reflecting a dedication to equal access to recreational spaces. Provincial President Javier Aureliano García stated, “Almería could become the province with the most sports halls in all of Andalusia.” He also expressed his enthusiasm for the project, envisioning it as a lasting investment in Almería’s future that supports both physical wellbeing and community cohesion.
Local councils will work closely with the provincial government to implement projects tailored to their community’s specific needs. By reinforcing the infrastructure for sports and physical activity, Almería’s leaders aim to create a thriving, health-oriented environment that benefits residents across generations.
