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]
