The minister says priority goes to rural municipalities and urban outskirts to widen access to sport. The figure is his assessment presented to lawmakers; the articles provide no detailed list of facilities.

Bensaid also announced plans to revise federation legislation after consulting the federations. He cited temporary management committees for pétanque and badminton. The reform remains planned: these reports present no newly adopted legislation.
