Federación Andaluza de Natación

What Federación Andaluza de Natación does

Federación Andaluza de Natación (FAN) is the official regional sports federation governing aquatic sports — swimming, water polo, artistic swimming, open water swimming, diving, and masters swimming — throughout the autonomous community of Andalusia, Spain. Operating under the umbrella of the Royal Spanish Swimming Federation (RFEN), FAN functions as a collaborating entity of the public administration per Article 2 of its Statutes, exercising delegated administrative functions including official competition sanctioning, athlete licensing, referee/judge certification, and official record-keeping (Records/MM). The federation serves swimming clubs, athletes of all ages, and certified technical officials across all eight Andalusian provinces through its headquarters in Córdoba and a network of provincial delegations (Almería, Cádiz, Córdoba, Granada, Huelva, Jaén, Málaga, Sevilla), some operating under long-standing use agreements with municipal sports institutes dating back to 1986.

FAN's core "products" are governance services rather than commercial offerings: official championship organization, national qualification pathways, referee and judge training and certification, tecnificación (talent development) programs, athlete insurance coordination through RFEN, and digital infrastructure including FAN TV (live competition streaming), a registration/merchandise platform (Tienda FAN), and a training administration portal (Formación). The technology stack is conventional web infrastructure with no proprietary platform, app, or API — the fan.es website serves as the primary administrative portal.

As a private non-profit, FAN's revenue model is administrative rather than commercial: funding derives from public subsidies (primarily from the Junta de Andalucía's Consejería de Cultura y Deporte), member club fees, event registration fees, and commercial sponsorships including medical services (Clínicas Beiman), equipment (Disseny Sport), travel (La Reserva Viajes), and tourism promotion (Andalucía Turismo). Specific pricing for membership or event registration is not publicly disclosed. Strategic commercial partners are supplemented by institutional partners including the RFEN (national governing body), CAFD (Confederación Andaluza de Federaciones Deportivas), and the Junta de Andalucía, with the latter providing venues through municipal sports institutes across the region.
