Finances

FGP closed the 2014 financial year with a positive balance of € 7,926.38, following a profit of € 215,093.26 in the previous year.

The situation of the association corresponds to the generally difficult situation to a large extent of all Portuguese sports associations, which strive for increasing income and increased cost control with falling public subsidies, in an economically persistently difficult environment. The reason is the government's rigid austerity policy and the tense overall economic situation in Portugal as a result of the euro crisis . The FGP is one of the few associations that has so far been able to continue to achieve a positive balance.
