In 2016, the City Council of Regensburg issued guidelines for the promotion of competitive and top-class sports and for outstanding sporting events.
The aim of this funding is to develop regional sport and to support the so called “local heroes” in order to allow them to concentrate more on their sport and be suitable for national or international competitions in the future.
Both individual athletes and the necessary infrastructure of the clubs for competitive sport can be supported.
Based on this guideline, the first so-called "Team Regensburg" set up.
Up to 30 successful athletes can become members of this team, they are selected by the working committee of the sports advisory board.
The athletes are divided into three categories depending on their age: talent, perspective and top athletes. To the categorie is base the amount of the funding they receive.
The selection is made according to criteria that are based on previous success and the prospects for development. The basic objective is to participate in the Olympic Games or World / European Championships. Admission is for one year.
The athletes represent the name of the city of Regensburg at national and international events and thus contribute to the positive image of the city of Regensburg.
