Federación Aragonesa de Pádel

What Federación Aragonesa de Pádel does

Federación Aragonesa de Pádel (FAP) is the official regional sports federation governing padel within the Autonomous Community of Aragón, Spain, headquartered at Avenida José Atarés 101 in Zaragoza. Recognized by the Real Federación Española de Pádel (FEP) and supported by the Gobierno de Aragón, it is the sole sporting authority for padel in the region, holding exclusive rights to issue official federative licenses, manage the Aragón ranking, sanction competitions, and select Aragón representative teams for Spanish national championships. The federation organizes a year-round competitive calendar across three age-based lines: an Absolute circuit (8 Pruebas Aragonesas Federadas / PAF, plus an 18-round Liga de Aragón absoluta), a Menors circuit (9 Circuit Aragonés de Menores events, the Liga de Aragón de Menores, and the Escuela de Alto Rendimiento FAP high-performance program), and a Veterans circuit (5 events). It also runs referee and coaching certification, an aid and subsidy program for high-performance and sub-35 players, and a disciplinary committee.

The technology backbone is the third-party tpc-matchpoint (Matchpoint) federation-management platform, which powers licensing administration, tournament registration, scheduling, and the Liga Aragón league manager (an online portal where team captains update rosters, results, and fixtures). The federation operates a multi-channel digital presence via a website, dedicated iOS and Android apps, Twitter/X, Facebook, and YouTube, alongside its physical affiliated-club network of 100+ padel clubs across Zaragoza, Huesca, and Teruel provinces. It employs a lean administrative team of 5 staff led by President Miguel Ángel Herranz Loreiro.

Revenue is generated from four main streams: annual federative license fees (tiered at €20 minor, €35 minor-plus, €45 referee, €45 coach, €50 adult absolute for 2024, rebilled 2026), tournament entry and club affiliation fees (including licitation payments from clubs to host sanctioned events), commercial sponsorships (HEAD Padel as official ball, IberCaja, BMW Augusta Aragón, Azul Marino Viajes, Mr. Brownie, Aura Restaurante, Kalibo, Embou insurance, TPC Matchpoint), and institutional support from the Gobierno de Aragón. Distribution is direct-to-member: players and clubs self-serve through the website/apps, with affiliated clubs serving as the primary physical touchpoint for recruitment and tournament promotion.

Core offering

Federación Aragonesa de Pádel is the official regional sports federation for padel in Aragón, Spain. It organizes the full sanctioned competitive calendar (PAF absolute circuit, CAM minors circuit, Liga de Aragón absolute and veterans leagues, Aragón championships), issues annual federative licenses for players, referees and coaches/technicians, certifies coaches (Monitor/Entrenador Nivel I) and national referees (Juez Árbitro Nacional), affiliates clubs, manages the official Aragón ranking, and runs the youth Escuela de Alto Rendimiento / Tecnificación program.

Product overview

Federación Aragonesa de Pádel is a regional sports federation that does not offer a commercial software product or SaaS platform. Its public-facing digital presence consists of a website (arapadel.com) and mobile applications published on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, which provide information about tournaments, rankings, licenses, and competition management. The federation uses tpc-matchpoint software for sports center management to power its backend operations, but this is an internal operational tool, not a customer-facing product.
