Spanish Padel Federation: amendments to statutes regarding scope, specialities and technical bodies

The Presidency of the Higher Sports Council has authorised the amendment of Articles 1, 2 and 34 of the Statutes of the Spanish Padel Federation (FEP), pursuant to the Resolution of 25 August 2026. The changes define the FEP's nature as a non-profit private entity exercising delegated public functions (Art. 1), establish the sport's specialities (padel and wheelchair padel) (Art. 2), and regulate the mandatory establishment of the Technical Committee of Umpires and Referees (Art. 34).

In 3 key points

  1. The FEP exercises delegated public functions of an administrative nature (Art. 1.3). (art. 1.3)
  2. Padel and padel for persons with disabilities (wheelchair) are recognised as specialities (Art. 2.1). (art. 2.1)
  3. The establishment of the Technical Committee of Umpires and Referees is mandatory (Art. 34.2). (art. 34.2)

How it affects those involved

For FEP members (regional federations, clubs, athletes and technical staff), the regulation clarifies their framework of action and the entity's nature as a collaborating agent of the Administration (Art. 1). The federation's technical bodies are subject to the mandatory establishment of the Technical Committee of Umpires and Referees, whose chairperson shall be appointed by the President of the FEP (Art. 34).
