With reference to the social significance of sport, under “committed sports promotion” it is mentioned, among other things, that “emerging e-sports” should be more strongly supported in Germany, that a better basis should be laid for competitive and top-class sport and that the applications for major international events - provided that the framework conditions mentioned are right and the population is not against it. This also applies to the Olympic Games.
