(ANSA) - BRUXELLES - The European Commission has approved under EU state aid rules Slovakia's plans to grant in total 35.96 million euros of public support to the construction of the national football stadium in Bratislava. The stadium will be available to professional teams, including the Slovak national football team and a first league football club, but also to non-professional clubs, sports unions, schools and citizens for sportive, social and cultural events.
The Commission found the aid to be "proportional" and concluded that the measure will "further the promotion of sport and culture while preserving competition in the EU's Single Market", a statement says.
The Bratislava stadium will comply with the UEFA category 4 requirements and will meet all the highest quality standards.
