The Latvian Prime Minister, Evika Siliņa, announced that the government will discuss a new Sports Law aimed at defining and promoting an active lifestyle. During a recent coalition meeting, Siliņa emphasized that fostering public sports, youth sports, and a healthy society are top priorities of this legislation. The new law is considered essential to clarify the parameters of governmental and municipal responsibilities in sports funding.

Furthermore, Siliņa highlighted the need for the Sports Law to address how funding is allocated, moving away from reliance on unexpected funds toward more structured and predictable financial planning. The government plans to set higher standards for the transparency and credibility of sports organizations, ensuring accountability within the sector. The legislative initiative, which has undergone extensive consultations and adjustments since its initial proposal, aims to improve the overall governance and promotion of sports in Latvia.

The bill’s re-evaluation process concluded at the end of January, with the Ministry of Education and Science receiving numerous suggestions and objections during the discussions. The ministry's goal is to incorporate these insights to create a robust framework that supports active lifestyles and sports development, ultimately contributing to a healthier and more engaged society in Latvia.
