In the press conference after the Council of Ministers was held, the Government spokesperson, Isabel Rodríguez, explained that it is a subsidy already provided for in the General State Budget for 2023 and that it will be received by the Fundació Barcelona Capital Nàutica AC24 , for the celebration of the competition.
The Fundació Barcelona Capital Nàutica AC24 is the entity that brings together all the public administrations that support the event and will manage its legacy, while the direct organization of the competition falls to America’s Cup Event Ltd and its Spanish subsidiary, America’s Cup Event Barcelona.
This item will go to “cover all expenses directly linked to the designation of Barcelona as the venue for the XXXVII Copa América and the organization of the competition.”
As the note points out, the sports contest is expected to generate “19,000 jobs between its designation, in March 2022, and its celebration” and an economic impact “of more than 1,200 million euros for Catalonia.”
The spokesperson for the central government and Minister for Territorial Policy, Isabel Rodríguez, has assured that the XXXVII Copa América “will place Spain and, in particular, Barcelona, on the international sports agenda.”
