Raising Participation Fees for Athletes

A number of clubs are hindered from participating in tournaments organized by the individual games federation. This arose after their recent decision to increase player fees in local tournaments, conducted throughout the year, by more than 200% compared to last year.

As noted, the new fees have become a reason for difficulty for many clubs and athletes who cannot afford to pay such high amounts. Representatives of the hindered clubs expressed disappointment and concern in this regard.

One of the club representatives shared his opinion: "We have always supported sporting initiatives, but such drastic changes have negative consequences for our participation in competitions. We hope for a constructive dialogue with the federation to find a mutually beneficial solution to this issue."
