What Fédération Française de Savate boxe française & D.A does

The Fédération Française de Savate Boxe Française & Disciplines Associées (FFSAVATE) is a French non-profit sports federation recognized as an association of public utility since the December 1973 decree. It is the sole official governing body for Savate Boxe Française and four associated disciplines (Canne de Combat et Bâton, Savate Forme, Savate Défense, Sport pour Tous) in France, operating under the oversight of the French Ministry of Sports with autonomous governance led by a President and Comité Directeur. The federation serves three core constituencies: 56,000 individual licensed practitioners (licensed members) across 770 affiliated clubs, the clubs themselves, and the certified coaches, officials, and administrators who deliver the sport.

FFSAVATE operates a multi-platform digital ecosystem comprising the main website (ffsavate.com), an e-commerce boutique, a member licensing portal (licence.ffsavate.com), and the SBF merchandise sub-brand (sbf-savate.fr). Its product portfolio spans federal instructor certification courses (€252-€500 per participant), specialized training programs (physical preparation, children pedagogy, Savate Défense), educational publications (training guides and competition coaching books priced €3-€35), and official merchandise including textiles and competition equipment under partner collaborations with Le Coq Sportif and Hexagone Combat. The technology stack is standard federation/website tooling with no proprietary AI or platform components.

The revenue model is non-commercial and federation-typical, anchored by recurring annual licence fees from individual practitioners and clubs, supplemented by paid professional training and certification programs, merchandise sales via the official boutique, and likely public funding via ANS 'Projets Sportifs Fédéraux'. Distribution is indirect through the 770-club network, with direct-to-consumer sales through the e-commerce storefront and live-streamed national/international competitions on YouTube serving as both awareness and engagement channels. The federation holds Qualiopi certification for training quality and operates with a staff of 57 from its Paris headquarters.
