Federación Madrileña de Pádel

What Federación Madrileña de Pádel does

Federación Madrileña de Pádel (FMP) is the officially registered regional governing body for padel in the Community of Madrid, Spain (sports association registry entry 58, N.I.F. V82126533). Founded around 2013 and headquartered at the Parque Deportivo Puerta de Hierro in Madrid, FMP operates as a private nonprofit sports federation affiliated with the Real Federación Española de Pádel (FEP) and the International Padel Federation (FIP). The federation's functional role is to organize, regulate, and promote competitive padel across the region, including issuing player licenses (standard, coach/referee, chair-padel, and Monitor de Padel Nivel 1 instructor certifications), maintaining official multi-category rankings (Absoluto, Veteranos, Menores, Flash), sanctioning tournaments and leagues, administering accident insurance for members, and providing accident insurance coverage along with financial aid programs for players and clubs.

FMP's product surface is organized around a centralized federation management platform with multiple integrated modules: tournament organization (Circuito Mahou Cinco Estrellas, Grand Slams, Veteranos Bullpadel circuit, Flash Circuit, team leagues), multi-category ranking systems, license and certification management, training programs delivered through a virtual classroom (Aula Virtual), court reservation services at FMP's Puerta de Hierro and Canal de Isabel II facilities, and a mobile application for federated members. The underlying technology is a conventional web-based federation management system; no proprietary AI/ML technology is described in the source material. The federation also operates a youth development arm (Área de Menores, tecnificación) and an instructor job board (Bolsa de Trabajo) that connects certified coaches with clubs.

FMP's revenue model is primarily subscription-recurring, driven by annual player and coach licenses, with supplementary income from tournament entry fees, court reservations at federation facilities, and commercial sponsorships (flagship partners include Bullpadel, Mahou Cinco Estrellas, Estrella Damm, and Hyundai Almoauto Motor). The go-to-market motion is community-led: FMP acquires members through club affiliation (the 'Federa tu club' program), player license issuance, and tournament participation, relying on an established network of padel clubs, training programs, and venues across the Community of Madrid. Governance is exercised through a Junta Directiva, Asamblea General, Comisión Delegada, and supporting committees. José Luis Rivero serves as Director Deportivo.
