==== Short takeaways ====
* India (~$441M) has by far the largest single-ministry allocation for youth & sports in 2025 among these three — driven by a large, consolidated ministry budget that includes Khelo India (₹1,000 crore) and major autonomous bodies (Sports Authority of India, etc.).

* Uzbekistan (~$250M) — reporting in 2025 highlights a rapid scaling of sports allocations (from 1.5 → 3 trillion som over the last four years) and strong political focus (presidential directives, infrastructure spending). The reporting frames 3 trillion som as the current allocation level in 2025, but local coverage sometimes mixes multi-year totals and annual allocations; treat the UZS figure as a government-stated 2025 allocation level (approx).

* Egypt (~$39M–$64M) — the Planning Ministry and MOIC show targeted investment lines (EGP 1.9B allocated for sports/youth services; plus project investments of ~EGP 1.252B). Even combining both, Egypt’s public sports spending in 2025 is well below India and Uzbekistan in USD terms. sis.gov.eg<ref>{{cite web|title=sis.gov.eg|url=https://sis.gov.eg/en/media-center/news/planning-min-egp-19-bn-allocated-for-sports-youth-services-in-current-fy/|publisher=sis.gov.eg|access-date=2026-01-06}}</ref>
