Nearly all represented. More than twenty federations attended the quarterly meeting with the Minister of Youth and Sports, Alain Désiré Rasambany, and his team yesterday at the Barea Mahamasina Stadium. On this occasion, the head of Malagasy sports presented a financial report on the various subsidies for the past months of 2026.
“The transfers for the ministry amounted to 6 billion ariary, of which 4 billion were allocated to sports and 2 billion to youth, while our requests were double that, at 12 billion,” the minister stated. “After review, twenty-three out of thirty applications have been validated, with seven others still in progress,” he emphasized.
Despite the tight budget, the minister aims to satisfy all national sports bodies without prioritization, unlike many developing nations. According to the minister’s report, the Barea received 428 million ariary during friendly matches in Turkey, 162 million for the Ankoay’s participation in the 3×3 World Cup, 180 million for the participation of two skiers in the Winter Olympics, and 171 million for the Makis’ qualifiers in Dubai.
However, several other international trips were carried out under debt, including the latest friendly match of the Barea in Turkey, three other trips by the Ankoay, the world champion youth boules players, the Makis, and table tennis players at the African Youth Championships. In addition to federation subsidies, the ministry also invested in the ASIEF civil servant national championships in Manakara and school sports in Mahajanga.
