The National Program of Sport for All has applications open, from March 26 to April 16, to support projects developed by sports federations, which aim to contribute to increase the rates of sports practice of people with disabilities.

In the development of policies for the inclusion of persons with disabilities, it is essential to guarantee conditions of access and exercise of citizenship rights, through their participation in the various contexts of life, on an equal basis with other citizens.

This framework articulates ‑se with the National Strategy for the Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities 2021‑2025 (ENIPD 2021‑2025), extended until the entry into force of the new strategy for the period 2026‑2030, which enshrines the promotion of lifelong sport, in all ages and contexts, as a tool for social inclusion and participation.

In addition to the recent National Sports Development Plan (PNDD) enshrines inclusion as a relevant axis of national sports policy, with a particular focus on promoting the practice of sport by persons with disabilities, as well as addressing persistent challenges such as accessibility, the adequacy of sports provision and the qualification of human resources.

It is in this strategic reference framework that the SNETP - Disability Projects, as a funding instrument already consolidated, promoted by the Portuguese Institute of Sport and Youth, I.P. (IPDJ, I.P.) in partnership with the Institute for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, I.P. (IDiPD, I.P.).

The SNEPT thus aims to strengthen the regular participation of persons with disabilities in sport by supporting sport development projects promoted by sports federations, focusing on inclusive and sustainable approaches, beyond the strictly competitive context.

This convergence between policy instruments and funding mechanisms reinforces the commitment to ensure a truly inclusive, accessible and engaged sport, promoting equal opportunities and consolidating sport as an instrument of social cohesion.

The 2026 edition, counts with the application period running between the 9 a.m. on 26 March 2026 and 5 p.m. on 16 April 2026.
