FEMECV

What FEMECV does

FEMECV (Federació d'Esports de Muntanya i Escalada de la Comunitat Valenciana) is the officially recognized regional sports federation governing mountain and climbing sports across the Valencian Community of Spain. Founded in 1966 and celebrating its 60th anniversary in 2026, the federation operates under Spanish sports law (Ley 39/2022) as a private nonprofit with exclusive authority to credential clubs, license practitioners, and organize official competitions in climbing, mountain racing, and Nordic walking within the region. It is affiliated with the national federation FEDME and maintains three physical offices (Valencia, Elche, Vila-real) staffed by 12 employees.

The federation's core product set consists of federative licenses (annual Licencia FEMECV and seasonal Licencia Estival) bundled with accident and liability insurance underwritten through Howden, supplemented by temporary insurance products, competition registrations, certification courses at the EVAM school and TOSSAL authorized training center, homologated trail management via the Senderos CV registry, and a member discount program. Technology infrastructure is limited to a web-based private area (Playoff Informatica platform), a mobile app for license management, an online store (tienda.femecv.com), and standard integrations with Mailchimp, WhatsApp Business, and Microsoft Outlook. The federation also runs Esport a l'Escola, a school sports program reaching 2,500+ students, and supports a network of 12 affiliated clubs.

FEMECV's revenue model is diversified across subscription license fees (annual and seasonal), transaction fees from competition registrations, professional services revenue from training courses, and merchandise sales through the online store, with institutional support from the Generalitat Valenciana (Conselleria de Cultura i Esports) and provincial Diputación de Alicante. Distribution occurs through the three physical offices, the online self-service platform, affiliated clubs, and a multi-channel marketing presence (website, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube Canal FEMECV). The federation is currently undergoing its 2026 electoral process for new Presidency and Board.
