Federación Colombiana De Patinaje - Fedepatin

What Federación Colombiana De Patinaje - Fedepatin does

Fedepatin is the national governing body for roller and ice skating in Colombia. Founded as a private non-profit organization headquartered in Bogotá, it operates under the supervision of the Ministerio del Deporte (Ministry of Sport) and holds formal affiliations with World Skate and World Skate America, the international and continental governing bodies. The federation administers the development, regulation, and competitive structure of more than 13 roller-skating disciplines — including speed skating, artistic skating, inline hockey, roller derby, skate cross, and scooter — alongside four ice-skating disciplines. Its organizational footprint extends across 30-plus regional leagues (ligas) nationwide, with its membership base comprising athletes, coaches, judges/referees, and club administrators.

The federation's core operations include national championship organization, athlete development through selective camps, international competition representation, technical official certification via its Escuela Nacional de Jueces (National Judges School), and licensing/sanctioning of affiliated clubs. It serves as the exclusive pathway connecting Colombian athletes to international events such as the Pan American Games and World Championships. Its technology stack includes the Vensport membership platform for registration, club licensing, athlete records, and event management — a centralized data system supporting thousands of federation stakeholders but with no disclosed mobile application, API, or analytics products.

Revenue mechanics rely on a mix of membership and licensing fees from clubs and athletes, government transfers through the Ministerio del Deporte, event registration and sanctioning fees, and sponsorship income. The federation is structured as a non-profit with no public revenue disclosure, no equity capital structure, and no VC/PE ownership; it functions as a centralized regulatory and competition body rather than a commercial enterprise. Customer/member base is highly fragmented across individual athletes, clubs, and regional leagues.
