Federación Andaluza de Balonmano

What Federación Andaluza de Balonmano does

Federación Andaluza de Balonmano (FABM) is the official regional sports federation governing court and beach handball across Andalusia, Spain. Operated as a non-profit association registered under CIF G56998461, the federation serves as the territorial authority delegated by the Real Federación Española de Balonmano (RFEBM) and provides comprehensive governance over licensing, competition organization, coach and referee certification, and athlete development for clubs, players, referees, and coaches across all eight Andalusian provinces. The organization employs approximately 35 staff and operates from its headquarters in Granada, with eight territorial delegations providing local stakeholder support.

The federation runs a multi-product digital ecosystem comprising the Noreba platform for online licensing and regulatory management, the Aula Virtual e-learning platform for coach and referee certification with diploma issuance, dedicated competition management systems for court and beach handball, a 3x3 educational beach handball league (Liga LED), a high-performance program, technical training camps, and consumer mobile apps on iOS and Android. Supporting services include sports insurance (brokered through Iberia BMS), medical services, and a streaming platform partnership with iSQUAD.TV for live event broadcasting.

The business model is structured around annual licensing fees paid by clubs, players, referees, and coaches (processed via virtual TPV or bank transfer through the Noreba portal), supplemented by corporate sponsorship from approximately 15 named partners (Unicaja Banco, Joma Sport, Iberia BMS, General Óptica, Junta de Andalucía-Educación, Grupo Beiman, Halcón Viajes, Clínica Beiman, Fundación Unicaja, and others), public-sector collaboration, and self-generated content revenue from media distribution. Distribution occurs through self-serve digital channels (website, mobile apps) and direct stakeholder engagement via the provincial delegations.
