What Federación de Baloncesto de Madrid does

Federación de Baloncesto de Madrid (FBM) is the official autonomic basketball federation for the Community of Madrid, Spain, registered in the Registro de asociaciones deportivas de la Comunidad de Madrid with registration number 8 (CIF G78332541) and operating continuously since 1931. As a non-profit association, it governs the sport at the regional level and serves four primary constituencies: affiliated basketball clubs, certified coaches, licensed referees, and players from minibasket through senior age groups. It organizes the full competitive calendar — Senior, Preferente, Federado, Minibasket, 3x3, Juegos Deportivos Municipales, and the recreational Free Basket league (325+ teams and 5,300+ players producing 4,246 matches per season) — alongside national-championship coordination with the Federación Española de Baloncesto (FEB).

The federation's product and technology footprint is built around a three-layer digital stack. The Gesdeportiva platform handles administration across clubs, leagues, and federation operations; FBMTV (OTT) distributes live and on-demand match content; and the Afición FBM mobile app (iOS and Android) delivers schedules, results, and news to fans. Supporting systems include Microsoft Forms for course enrollment and integrations with Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Google Maps for web properties and media distribution. The coaching and refereeing divisions offer certification programs at tiered price points — Superior Coach Course (CES) at €1,165 (755 hours), referee courses at €150, Table Official courses at €125 — plus multi-period summer and September intakes.

Revenue mechanics are diversified across course and certification fees (Coach and Referee Schools), Summer Campus and Escola product fees (~€150/session), licensing and registration income from member clubs and players, sponsorship agreements (Spalding, Wilson, IberCaja, Asisa+, RibéSalat, Luanvi), and collaboration funding from public-sector partners (Comunidad de Madrid and multiple ayuntamientos, including Alcorcón, Getafe, Fuenlabrada, Móstoles, Torrejón de Ardoz, Aranjuez, and Alcalá de Henares). The federation maintains regional delegations in Alcorcón and Getafe to localize service delivery, and operates with a small staff of 11–50 employees.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Federación Española de Baloncesto (FEB): National governing body for basketball in Spain and the parent/coordination counterpart of FBM. Comparable in operating model (federation, leagues, referee and coach training) but operates at national scope and senior international competition.

Others

• Club del Árbitro (RFEB): National referee platform operated under the Spanish Basketball Federation that FBM's local referees interact with. Comparable referee training and certification ecosystem within Spanish basketball.
• Gesdeportiva: Sports management software vendor whose platform FBM uses for club and federation operations. Adjacent ecosystem participant rather than a competitor, but a meaningful counterpart in the federation tech stack.

Direct peers

• Federación Vasca de Baloncesto: Basque Country regional basketball federation. Equivalent autonomic federation structure handling league organization, training, and certifications within its territory.
• Federación de Baloncesto de Andalucía: Andalusia's regional basketball federation. Closely comparable autonomic structure, league organization, and coach/referee school operations within Spain.
• Federació Catalana de Basquetbol: Regional basketball federation governing the sport across Catalonia. Direct structural peer to FBM as another autonomic (regional) basketball federation operating leagues, training, and referee certification in its territory.
• Federación de Baloncesto de la Comunidad Valenciana: Another autonomic basketball federation in Spain, governing Valencia. Operates analogous competitive leagues, coach schools, and referee programs for its regional territory.
• Federación Gallega de Baloncesto: Galicia's autonomic basketball federation. Same regional governance function and operating model as FBM for basketball in northwest Spain.

Regional players

• Real Federación de Fútbol de Madrid (RFFM): Autonomic federation for football (soccer) in Madrid. Same regional sports federation archetype as FBM but for a different sport; useful proxy for federation governance and revenue models in the same region.
