Federación Española de Deportes para Personas con Discapacidad Intelectual (FEDDI)

What Federación Española de Deportes para Personas con Discapacidad Intelectual (FEDDI) does

FEDDI (Federación Española de Deportes para Personas con Discapacidad Intelectual) is a Madrid-based non-profit national federation founded in 1993 that coordinates competitive and recreational sport for people with intellectual disabilities in Spain. It is officially registered with the Consejo Superior de Deportes (CSD) and is affiliated with Virtus, the international federation for athletes with intellectual disabilities, giving it the mandate to field Team España across more than a dozen sport disciplines (including athletics, swimming, basketball, futsal, boccia, and short-track speed skating). The federation operates with a lean staff of approximately 8 employees and coordinates through a network of territorial federations, running national-team selection, training camps, and competitive calendars.

The business model is that of a public-utility sports federation rather than a commercial enterprise. Funding is assembled from three principal streams: public subsidies (principally from the CSD, plus regional and municipal government contributions tied to event hosting), commercial sponsorships (including Joma Sport for technical apparel and AXA Seguros), and partnerships with social-mission organizations (notably ONCE and Fundación Nimesio Díez). Revenue is supplemented through membership/affiliation flows from territorial federations and ancillary activities such as an official merchandise storefront. The 2026 operating cycle illustrates the model: hosting the Virtus World Short Track Championship in Ourense with regional co-financing, launching the "AÚN MÁS ALLÁ" documentary with ONCE and Fundación Nemesio Díez, securing 79 medals at the European Summer Games, and re-electing president Marcos Herrero for the 2026-2030 mandate — all indicative of an organization that is expanding programmatic surface area while remaining dependent on a concentrated public-funder and sponsor base.
