Background

Federación Española de Deportes de Paralíticos Cerebrales (FEDPC) manages the national team.[1] Spain was active internationally by 2016, and had national championships to support national team player development.[2] National team development is supported by an International Federation of Cerebral Palsy Football (IFCPF) recognized national championship. Recognized years for the national IFCPF recognized competition include 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015.[3]

In some circumstances, Federació Esportiva Catalana de Paralítics Cerebrals serves as the national governing body when dealing with the IFCPF, and a Catalan team competes like a national team as Catalan national cerebral palsy team in some events against full national teams. This occurred in May 2015, when two Catalan national squads played against the Tunisian squad.[4] [5]
