Amsterdam funding for the centenary of the 1928 Olympic Games

Amsterdam has awarded the Stichting 100 Jaar Olympische Spelen 1928 a start-up grant of €550,000 to organise a commemoration of the 1928 Olympic Games. A further €450,000 has been reserved, conditional on the foundation raising €1 million itself. The funding is intended to establish a project organisation and support fundraising.

The foundation, Olympic Stadium and NOC*NSF are expected to develop activities on sport and exercise, art and culture, history and legacy, and knowledge and policy. The programme is expected to begin in mid-April 2028 and conclude in October 2028.
