Confederação Brasileira de Ciclismo

What Confederação Brasileira de Ciclismo does

Confederação Brasileira de Ciclismo (CBC) is Brazil's national governing body for competitive cycling, organized as a private non-profit sports entity under Brazilian sports law (Lei nº 9.615/1998 and Lei nº 14.597/2023) and affiliated with the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), the Pan-American Cycling Confederation (COPACI), the Brazilian Olympic Committee (COB), and the Brazilian Paralympic Committee (CPB). Headquartered in Londrina, Paraná, the confederation regulates and organizes national championships across six cycling disciplines — BMX Racing, BMX Freestyle, Mountain Bike (XCO/XCC/XCE), Road, Track, and Paracycling — and operates through a federated network of 27 state-level federations covering all Brazilian states and the Federal District. It also runs a participatory program called Ciclismo para Todos and a newer Esports cycling line (Copa Brasil de Ciclismo eSports).

The confederation's core services are governance and event management: sanctioning national championships, maintaining athlete licensing and rankings, certifying technical officials, selecting national teams for international competitions, and enforcing anti-doping compliance through its dedicated Anti-Doping Organization in coordination with the Brazilian Anti-Doping Agency (ABCD). It supports athlete development via the Alto Rendimento (High Performance) department and has formalized gender equity through the Women's Cycling Program and Program for Women's Valorization in CBC Administration. There is no proprietary technology product; the digital surface consists of the cbc.esp.br public website, Facebook and YouTube channels, and a transparency portal.

CBC's revenue model rests on three streams: (1) government grants from the Ministry of Sport via partnership agreements (Termo de Fomento), (2) institutional sponsorships led by Caixa Econômica Federal with additional partners including GWM Original and FreeForce for specific events, and (3) event operations revenue from registrations and sponsorship activation. Leadership is elected for four-year terms; Jamil Elias Suaiden was elected President in March 2025 for the 2025-2028 cycle, supported by Vice-Presidents and elected Administrative and Fiscal Councils, with athlete representation via the Athletes Commission (CACBC).
