Federación de Balonmano de la Comunidad Valenciana

What Federación de Balonmano de la Comunidad Valenciana does

Federación de Balonmano de la Comunidad Valenciana (FBMCV) is the officially registered regional governing body for handball in the Valencian Community of Spain, established on November 21, 1986 (registry number 7, section 2ª). Operating as a non-profit sports federation with 19 employees across its Valencia headquarters and delegations in Alicante and Castellón, FBMCV organizes indoor and beach handball competitions, sanctions regional championships, certifies coaches and referees, and operates the Selecciones Autonómicas pathway that feeds athletes into Real Federación Española de Balonmano (RFEBM) national teams and CESA championships. Its member base comprises hundreds of affiliated clubs ranging from recreational youth teams to elite women's clubs competing in Liga Guerreras Iberdrola, Copa de la Reina, and EHF European Cup competition.

The federation's product portfolio spans competition services (Balonmano Pista, Balonmano Playa, Global Tourism Handball), school sports (Jocs Esportius, Esport a l'Escola), talent development programs (Fer Futur with Fundación Trinidad Alfonso, P.E.D. Cheste with the Generalitat Valenciana's Consellería de Educación), inclusive handball (Handbol Inclusiu, serving 100+ mental health users across seven municipalities), coach education (Escuela de Entrenadores), referee training, and sports accident insurance administration. Its technology stack consists of the iSquad club management platform (partnered with iTEGRA) for athlete licensing, insurance policy management, and club administration, plus a WordPress-based e-commerce storefront operated by TOOOLS S.L. for merchandise and affiliation transactions.

Revenue is generated through six diversified streams: recurring club affiliation fees, transaction-based competition entry fees, one-time coach certification course fees (Level I Beach Handball priced at €100), insurance brokerage commissions, merchandise and equipment sales via the online store, and government subsidies from Generalitat Valenciana for sports development programs. Distribution occurs through the three regional offices (providing in-person services), the fbmcv.es website and MiSquad portal (digital self-service), affiliated clubs acting as last-mile service points, and phone/email customer service channels. Strategic partnerships include the Real Federación Española de Balonmano (national affiliation), Fundación Trinidad Alfonso (talent development sponsorship), Generalitat Valenciana (subsidies and school sports co-organization), and the Erasmus+ 'Full Inclusive Handball' consortium with three other European federations.

Direct peers

• Federació Catalana de Handbol: Regional handball federation for Catalonia, also affiliated to RFEBM. Closest functional peer — same governance role, similar programs (competition, talent development, coach education), but operating in a larger and historically stronger handball region.
• Federación Madrileña de Balonmano: Regional handball federation for the Community of Madrid. Peer in size, governance scope, and program structure; differs primarily by geography and club ecosystem in the capital region.
• Federación de Balonmano del Principado de Asturias: Regional handball federation for Asturias. Direct peer in structure and RFEBM affiliation, operating competition, talent, and coach education programs at a similar regional scale.
• Federación de Balonmano de Castilla y León: Regional handball federation for Castilla y León. Comparable in role and program portfolio to FBMCV, including competition organization, talent development, and inclusive initiatives under RFEBM.
• Federación Gallega de Balonmano: Regional handball federation for Galicia. Peer in scope and role — manages competitions, club affiliations, and development pathways under RFEBM in a region with a distinct athletic culture.
• Federación de Balonmano de Andalucía: Regional handball federation for Andalucía — the largest Spanish region by population. Same governance function and program mix as FBMCV, but with materially larger club base and talent pool.

Broad incumbents

• Real Federación Española de Balonmano (RFEBM): National governing body for handball in Spain. FBMCV is a regional member federation under RFEBM; the two share competition pathways, referee certification, and national team pipelines. Most directly comparable as a handball federation, but at national rather than regional scale.
• European Handball Federation (EHF): Continental governing body for European handball. FBMCV interacts with EHF indirectly through RFEBM and directly via the Erasmus+ FULL INCLUSIVE HANDBALL consortium. Comparable as a handball federation, but at continental scale and with much broader commercial footprint.
