Federazione Italiana Badminton (FIBa)
The badminton federation in Italy · Italian Badminton Federation
The Federazione Italiana Badminton (FIBa) is a private-law non-profit association that CONI recognised as Italy's National Sports Federation (FSN) for badminton in 2000; it grew out of an earlier Italian Badminton Association founded in 1976, becoming FIBa in 1985. It is the sole Italian body affiliated to the BWF and Badminton Europe, and governs badminton plus related disciplines (para badminton, beach badminton, air badminton) and, on a non-exclusive experimental basis, pickleball. It is organised through territorial bodies (Organi Territoriali) and territorial technical centres, runs national individual and team championships, an official national ranking system, referee/coaching structures and a club affiliation and membership (tesseramento) scheme, and separately runs pickleball events and rankings.
Getting a licence
