Jerusalem, 11 June, 2026 (TPS-IL) — Israel’s Ministry of Culture and Sports published for the first time a dedicated support test to promote women’s sports in sports associations and societies in Israel. The move, said the Ministry, is intended to expand the base of active female athletes, with an emphasis on girls.
As part of the test, associations and societies will be able to promote dedicated programs for the development of women’s sports, to increase the number of participants, to improve professional infrastructure and to strengthen the continuum between entry into sports, perseverance, achievement and excellence.
In addition, the test includes a track for national projects to be led by selected associations, with the aim of expanding the base of young female athletes, strengthening tracks of excellence in various sports and creating national collaborations with associations, local authorities, educational frameworks and other professional entities.
