The deputy of Alpes-Maritimes, Cรฉdric Roussel, president of the “Sports Economy” study group of the National Assembly, and Franรงois Cormier-Bouligeon, president of the “Sports” study group, have submitted to Prime Minister Jean Castex 50 measures to revive French sports.*
The initiative, evocatively named “Save Sports,” stems from the necessary economic revival of the sports sector, which has been heavily impacted by the crisis.
However, the ambition of the initiators is to give sports a central place in our society through the development of school sports, corporate sports, or health sports.
