CENTRO SPORTIVO NAZIONALE LIBERTAS APS

What CENTRO SPORTIVO NAZIONALE LIBERTAS APS does

Centro Nazionale Sportivo Libertas APS (CNS Libertas) is an Italian nonprofit sports promotion entity (Ente di Promozione Sportiva) recognized by CONI (the Italian National Olympic Committee), the Ministry of Interior, and the Ministry of Labor and Social Policies. Headquartered in Rome, it operates a federated network spanning regional committees (C.R.S.) and provincial committees (C.P.S.) that affiliate sports clubs (ASD/SSD) and individual members throughout Italy. The organization coordinates national championships across more than 30 disciplines including athletics, swimming, artistic swimming, football, beach soccer, karate, taekwondo, dance, motorsports, urban sports, airsoft, and dog activities.

The portfolio comprises affiliation and membership services (tesseramento), insurance packages (RTC agevolata), fiscal services via external partners, national championship organization, specialized sports departments, and a training and education division operating the Albo Nazionale Tecnici (National Trainers Registry), multi-level instructor courses, and the UNI 11713:2018-aligned Corso Salute e Benessere. There is no proprietary technology platform; operations are coordinated through a WordPress website (libertasnazionale.it), a cloud tesseramento portal, and committee-driven administration, with social projects (Playground, YouthPlay, TeamUP, UNI HEALTH, Be Free Be Sport, anti-violence campaigns) targeting youth inclusion, wellness, and social cohesion.

The business model rests on recurring membership fees from individual tesserati, affiliation fees from sports clubs, training-course fees (national trainer, second-level, instructor, official competition, bionatural discipline courses), public contributions as a government-recognized entity, and partner-benefit commissions. Distribution is hierarchical: CNS Libertas provides national coordination, C.R.S. committees manage regional activity, and C.P.S. committees handle local club affiliation and membership. The national HQ itself operates with a small core team (5 documented employees), with operational scale concentrated in the semi-autonomous regional and provincial committee network rather than centralized employment.
