Coalition partners agreed to consider the proposals from the Latvian Olympic Committee and political parties that do not involve reallocating funding from already planned events. In particular, deputies Evika Siliņa (former Prime Minister of Latvia), Davis Martiņš Daugavietis, and Alina Hendele propose directing 3% of the revenue from excise taxes on alcohol, tobacco, and non-alcoholic beverages to the sports fund.

It is planned that the State Sports Fund will administer various funding instruments for sports, competitions for project implementation, and targeted programs.
