Santa Cruz de Tenerife, October 31, 2025.- The President of the Superior Sports Council (CSD), José Manuel Rodríguez Uribes, has met with the Government delegate in the Canary Islands, Anselmo Pestana.
The meeting, held at the headquarters of the Government Subdelegation in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, addressed, among other issues, the investments that the CSD has made in sports facilities in different Canarian municipalities, such as the Ciudad Deportiva de Antigua (Fuerteventura), with a funding of 3 million euros in the year 2022, or the sports center of Playa de Arinaga, in the municipality of Agüimes (Gran Canaria), with 750,000 euros.
In the past year, other municipalities have also received CSD grants to digitize facilities under the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan, such as La Aldea de San Nicolás, in Gran Canaria, or Santiago del Teide and La Matanza, in Tenerife. The Real Club Náutico de Gran Canaria has been another beneficiary of the NextGenerationEU funds.
