The Royal Spanish Tennis Federation, officially known as Real Federación Española de Tenis (RFET) in Spanish is the national governing body of tennis in Spain. Established in 1907, the federation oversees the development, regulation, and promotion of tennis at both the amateur and professional levels throughout the country. The Royal Spanish Tennis Federation is a member of the regional association Tennis Europe and is recognized by the International Tennis Federation (ITF) and the Spanish government as the authoritative body for tennis in Spain. The organization is also responsible for the Spanish Davis Cup team and the Spanish Fed Cup team. The federation headquarters lies in Barcelona.
The foundation of the Royal Spanish Tennis Federation can be traced back to the inception of the "Royal Association of Spanish Lawn-Tennis," which originated from the roots of the "Barcelona Lawn-tennis Association."[1] This association held a distinguished position as the foremost national body affiliated with the London tennis association, a governing body that had significant influence over global tennis during the early 1900s.[1] During that era, Spanish clubs lacked a centralized national authority to govern the sport’s regulations. It wasn't until the Concurso Internacional de San Sebastián in September 1909, a gathering that convened representatives from various clubs and enterprises, that the decision was made to establish a national federation.[1] After undergoing numerous changes in nomenclature over the years, the federation adopted its current title, the Real Federación Española de Tenis (RFET), in 1975, solidifying its status as the principal governing body overseeing tennis in Spain.[1]
Structureedit
The governance structure of the RFET comprises a president elected by member clubs and associations, along with a board of directors overseeing different committees dedicated to areas such as competitions, player development, officiation, and grassroots programs.[2]
