Federación Española de Pádel (FEP)

The padel federation in Spain · Spanish Padel Federation

The Federación Española de Pádel (FEP) is Spain's national padel federation, a dedicated padel body (not run by the tennis federation) affiliated to the FIP since 1991. It operates through a network of regional 'federaciones territoriales' covering Spain's autonomous communities (e.g. Madrid, Galicia, Comunidad Valenciana, País Vasco), which issue and manage most day-to-day licensing and run territorial competitions and calendars. The FEP itself runs national championships and circuits (including a national minors circuit and an adapted/wheelchair padel programme), national rankings, referee and coach registries and training (via a dedicated training platform, formacionfep.es), and club and tournament approval ('homologaciones'). It also runs a women-and-sport programme and coordinates shared resources (such as videoconferencing) for its territorial federations.

Getting a licence

Licences are issued and managed mainly through the regional territorial federation for the player's autonomous community (typically via a club); the FEP website offers an online 'Consulta tu licencia' portal to check, look up or amend an existing licence.
