Union of Basque Sports Federations

The Union of Basque Sports Federations (UFDV-EKFB; Basque: Euskal Kirol Federazioen Batasuna) is the representative umbrella entity for the sports federations of the Basque Country. According to its official website, it was created in 2003 as a project of Basque sport and has since served to bring all Basque sports federations under a single legal entity. The organization states that all Basque sports federations are associated with it, representing more than 200,000 athletes — nearly 10% of the population of the Basque Autonomous Community. The Union's stated main objective is to develop Basque sport in general and federated sport in particular. Its goals include promoting Basque national teams, facilitating the reception of subsidies for federations and athletes, and contributing ideas to the shaping of sports policy. Its functions include the promotion, defense and representation of Basque sport as a whole; collaboration with public and private entities and bodies for the development of sport; proposing initiatives to optimize sports policy; and generating common services for the Basque sports federations. The organization also operates a membership program called EuskalKirolaKluba, which offers benefits and exclusive discounts to members who practice sport. The Union is based in the Basque Country, Spain, and its official website is euskalkirola.eus.
