Sports Department

Svenska

The Sports Department creates the conditions for Stockholmers to have the opportunity to be physically active. Our vision is a Stockholm where everyone is willing and able to be active.

The Sports Department’s brief can be briefly described as opening up the City as an arena and offering Stockholmers a wide variety of opportunities for sport and exercise so they can enjoy a more active lifestyle.

In practice, this means that

  • we take care of the operation of sports halls, pitches for ball games, skating rinks, sports grounds, swimming pools, outdoor gyms, school sports halls, equestrian facilities, ski centres, and much more besides
  • we create good conditions for sports associations at our existing sports facilities and analyse the need for new sports facilities through a long-term investment plan
  • we support associations through financial support and offer free or subsidised rents (rates) for our sports facilities, primarily for children’s and youth activities
  • we are the City’s dialogue partner with all sports associations and regional sports federations, in both grass-roots and elite sports issues
  • we are the City’s point of contact in matters relating to active outdoor life, boating and recreational fishing
  • we coordinate both large and small sporting events and lease our sports facilities on an ongoing basis to various event organisers
  • we organise leisure activities for children and young people, and for some adults with disabilities.

The elected representatives on the Sports Committee make decisions on how the City should work in this area. The Sports Department then implements the Committee’s decisions.
