Key Points
  • Uppsala residents' physical activity exceeds national average and is rising.
  • Municipal sports facilities see high usage, supported by subsidies.
  • Targeted initiatives promote inclusion and safe meeting places.

Visits to the municipality's sports facilities have been near or above forecast throughout the year, officials said. In 2025, the municipality subsidized sports associations' facility use with over 381 million SEK, contributing to low fees and increased accessibility. Initiatives such as Uppsala Summer Zone and Fritidsbanken reach groups that otherwise risk being excluded, according to the municipality.

Leader-led spontaneous sports initiatives create safe meeting places in several districts, officials added.
