High-level sportsmen and women with disabilities and able-bodied athletes from the region help promote Montpellier Méditerranée Métropole's image of excellence in national competitions right up to the international stage.
The pride of the Metropole's young sportsmen and women, they contribute to the sporting effervescence of their facilities and clubs, and convey values of cohesion, inclusion and commitment. This dynamic of sporting excellence is a central element of the Metropole's sports policy, which has contributed to the award of the "Terre de Jeux 2024" label and recognition as "Centres de Préparation aux Jeux Olympiques et Paralympiques 2024".
This support scheme for top-level athletes illustrates the implementation of Axis 2 of the Metropolitan Sports Policy, voted on October 3, 2023.

- Put athletes in the best possible conditions to perform, whether for the purchase of equipment, travel to competitions, high-level training courses, coaching or dietetics.
