Nederlandse Boksbond

What Nederlandse Boksbond does

The Nederlandse Boksbond (NBB), founded in 1917 and headquartered in Den Haag, is the sole NOC*NSF-affiliated national sports federation for amateur boxing in the Netherlands. It operates as a non-profit member organization serving approximately 130+ recognized boxing centers (bokscentra), thousands of individual members (recreational, competitive, and elite boxers), licensed trainer-coaches, officials, and a professional boxing commission (Profcommissie). The federation regulates the sport, organizes national championships (NK Boksen, Eindhoven Box Cup, Nationale Jeugddagen), operates a national talent pipeline of six Regional Training Centers feeding into TeamNL, and maintains international affiliations with World Boxing.

The NBB's technology stack centers on two third-party platforms: Sport:80 (member and license administration, replacing the legacy FMS system in August 2025) and Boxerbase (competition registration, fighter loting, live judging/scoring). Stripe is integrated for payment processing across membership, licensing, and education transactions. The federation offers a multi-tiered education system including the free TC1 starter course, the €60 Assistent Trainer-Coach (TC2) intake test, Boksfit and Parkinson Boxing instructor certifications, and mandatory continuing education (PE points).

The NBB's revenue model blends individual memberships (€20/year per personal member), separately priced boxer/trainer/official licenses, education and certification fees, Boxerbase transaction fees (€1/credit per competing boxer), tiered TeamNL sponsor packages (€2,500 Bronze, €5,000 Silver, €10,000 Gold), and an annual Nederlandse Loterij grant distributed via NOC*NSF (€127,273 in 2025). Insurance is delivered through Everion Sport under a group scheme. GTM is predominantly digital (boksen.nl portal, Sport:80 self-serve) supplemented by event-driven acquisition (Eindhoven Box Cup, Ben Bril Memorial, Maaskantje Cup) and a kick-back fee paid to affiliated clubs (€7.50 per enrolled member).
