The Campania Region will fund 24 sports events for a total investment of 200,000 euros. The selection, for the year 2026, was carried out by the Agenzia Regionale Universiadi per lo Sport (ARUS).

According to the regional announcement, 162 project proposals were submitted. Of those, 80 were deemed eligible and 24 were admitted to funding.

The program presents sport as a tool for social inclusion, participation and local development, with attention to young people, people with disabilities and vulnerable groups. ANSA also confirmed the funding and its stated focus on youth and social inclusion.

The standard contribution is 5,000 euros per project. For initiatives aimed at people with disabilities, the contribution can reach 10,000 euros.

The resources come from savings under the Summer Universiade Napoli 2019 Programme managed by ARUS, as described by the Campania Region when the call was published.
