Request

FOI re Government spending.
Could you please tell me how much financial support the Government has given to the following sports between 2012-2022:

• Rugby
• Super-Tri
• Football 

Response

It is not possible to search Government expenditure based on specific sports as this information is not held. Article 3 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 applies. 

The attached table details payments by the whole of Government* for grants and sponsorship made to the following organisations between 2012-2022:  

• Super League Triathlon Jersey
• Jersey Rugby Football Club
• Jersey Rugby Association
• Jersey Football Association 

* The departments involved in either sponsorship or grants were the Department for the Economy (formerly Office of the Chief Executive and Economic Development), Children, Young People, Education and Skills (CYPES) and Infrastructure, Housing and Environment (IHE) (formerly Growth, Housing and Environment (GHE)). 

In 2021 £75,000 was also provided as support towards the British & Irish Lions visits in June 2021.
