Federação Portuguesa de Badminton (FPB)
The badminton federation in Portugal · Portuguese Badminton Federation
The Federação Portuguesa de Badminton (FPB) is Portugal's national governing body for badminton, based since April 1997 at its headquarters in Caldas da Rainha, where it also runs the Centro de Alto Rendimento (CAR) de Badminton, a high-performance training centre. It is structured with a general assembly, disciplinary and justice councils and a technical council, and is organised through clubs affiliated directly or via regional associations. It runs national competitions and rankings (a yearly national ranking and calendar), international events hosted in Portugal (the long-running Portugal International Championships, in its 61st edition in 2026, plus junior and U17 opens), an AirBadminton programme, a para-badminton pathway, referee/technical-official classification, and coach education (Formação); it is affiliated to Badminton Europe and the BWF.
Getting a licence
Clubs affiliate to the federation (directly, or via a regional association where one exists) by submitting a Mod.2 form, club statutes, tax ID (NIF), governing-body composition and a club logo; the federation's site does not itself state whether an individual competition licence is required or publish its price, referring enquiries to the federation office.
