Comitê Brasileiro de Clubes

What Comitê Brasileiro de Clubes does

Comitê Brasileiro de Clubes (CBC) is a Brazilian non-profit civil association founded in 1990, headquartered in Campinas, São Paulo, with a branch office in Brasília. Its mission is to develop and implement a national athlete formation policy by integrating sports clubs across Brazil and channelling federal lottery proceeds — allocated under Lei nº 13.756/2018 — to support competitive and developmental sporting activity. The organization serves more than 2,100 affiliated clubs across all five Brazilian regions through a three-axis platform: CBI® (Campeonatos Brasileiros Interclubes) for national interclub competitions, MEE (Materiais e Equipamentos Esportivos) for sports equipment and materials, and ETM (Equipes Técnicas Multidisciplinares) for multidisciplinary technical staff. Affiliation operates on a tiered basis — Aspirante, Vinculado, Filiado Primário, and Filiado Pleno — with clubs required to meet integration regulations to access benefits.

CBC's technology stack centers on compliance, transparency, and program management rather than commercial product distribution. Core systems include Comitê Digital (an integration portal for club management), the Banco de Preços do CBC (a procurement transparency database covering Paris 2024 Olympic cycle equipment purchases), a Business Intelligence dashboard for visualizing benefited clubs, a mobile app for Selo de Formação de Atletas photo compliance, and QGM (Quadro Geral de Medalhas) ranking infrastructure. The Selo de Formação de Atletas and CBI® brands are registered trademarks, providing brand identity embedded into athlete uniforms and equipment. The organization is governed by an Assembleia Geral, Colegiado de Direção, Conselho Consultivo, Conselho Fiscal, and Diretoria, with transparency oversight from the Tribunal de Contas da União.

CBC's revenue model is structurally distinct from a commercial entity: the organization does not charge customers for services but instead acts as a pass-through for mandatory federal lottery funding, augmented by membership contributions from affiliated clubs based on their tier (with reduced rates for monosport clubs). It distributes resources to clubs through public notices (editais) executed across Olympic cycles, with current activity centered on the Los Angeles 2028 cycle. It has formal MoUs with 35+ national sports confederations and leagues (including CBAt, CBDA, CBV, LNB, LNF, CBJ, CBG) and runs complementary human-capital programs including postgraduate courses, extension courses, and the annual Prêmio Clube Formador recognition ceremony.

• UK Sport: UK government body that funds and governs elite athlete development through national lottery proceeds. Operates a comparable lottery-funded athlete development model, providing a strong international benchmark for CBC's funding and federation-coordination structure.
• Sport England: Royal charter body distributing lottery and government funds to grassroots and community sport in England. Comparable to CBC in distributing public funds to clubs and federations with a focus on participation and development.
• Deutscher Olympischer Sportbund (DOSB): German Olympic Sports Confederation coordinating national sports federations and clubs. Comparable in acting as an umbrella organization for club-based sport with structured governance and Olympic-aligned planning cycles.
