What Federación Colombiana de Tenis does

Federación Colombiana de Tenis (Fedecoltenis / FCT) is a Bogotá-based non-profit (ESAL) national sports federation that directs, promotes, administers, regulates, and organizes tennis across Colombia. It is recognized by the International Tennis Federation (ITF), the Colombian Ministry of Sports, the Colombian Olympic Committee, and COSAT (Confederación Suramericana de Tenis), and serves as the exclusive national sanctioning body for tennis, managing the Davis Cup and Billie Jean King Cup teams.

Its core offerings include a Tournament Management System, a Player Registration System, a National Rankings Platform (integrated with the ITF's World Tennis Number), an Anti-Doping Program aligned with WADA-AMA, technical training and certification platforms for coaches and referees, and a federation-operated sports store (Almacén Deportivo) at the Bogotá High Performance Center. The technology stack is a set of web portals and mobile applications (iOS and Android) built around player and tournament data, with no disclosed AI/ML or API products.

Fedecoltenis generates revenue through annual player membership cards (Carné Fedecoltenis), per-event tournament registration fees graded by competition level (Grado 1-5, WTN, festivals, inter-league), and commercial operations including the sports store and corporate sponsorships (Colsanitas, KIA, Wilson, YONEX, MILO/Nestlé, Electrolit, Match Point). Distribution runs through 20-22 affiliated regional leagues, approximately 155 affiliated clubs, and a digital self-serve portal serving more than 3,000 junior circuit players and broader professional, senior, and wheelchair tennis segments across 7 cities.
