Macquigny is introducing two EUR 25 Intersport gift-card awards for young residents, according to La Thiérache’s October 12, 2026 report and interview with mayor Marc Ratte. One recognises education qualifications earned in 2026; the other, called Pass Loisirs, supports local secondary-school pupils taking part in sport. [S01]
The same award amount through two eligibility routes
Both routes offer the same nominal shopping credit. Their different evidence requirements explain whom they are intended to support; equal values do not establish that a resident can receive both. [S01]
Reported value of Macquigny’s two youth awards
Two distinct 2026 municipal awards, each delivered as an Intersport gift card.

Distinct awards with equal values. Eligibility is different and the report does not establish whether awards can be combined. No EUR 50 combined entitlement, recipient count or total programme budget is inferred.

| Award route | Requirements reported |
|---|---|
| 2026 qualification award | Resident status and a copy of a 2026 education qualification, such as the brevet or baccalauréat |
| School sports award | Local secondary-school pupil, 2026-2027 enrolment certificate and a sports licence for the season |
For the qualification route, residents must provide a copy of a qualification obtained in 2026, such as the brevet or baccalauréat, and proof of residence. The sports route requires a 2026–2027 school-enrolment certificate and a sports licence for the season. Documents are due at the town hall before October 30. [S01]
Ratte told the newspaper that the council had accepted the proposal to encourage study and sport, addressing an age group between existing arrangements for young children and older residents. He described the awards as having no income condition. This is the mayor’s reported explanation of the scheme, rather than a measured effect on educational achievement or sports participation. [S01]
Intersport’s public professional gift-card page advertises two-year validity for its general e-card offer. The local report does not identify the municipality’s purchased card contract, activation date or distribution timetable, so a specific expiry date for these awards cannot be established from that general offer. [S02]
The report gives no programme budget or expected recipient total and supplies no completed issuance or redemption results. The application requirements and EUR 25 values are documented; whether one person can receive both awards remains unstated. [S01]
