The Spanish Quidditch Association (Spanish: Asociación Quidditch España, AQE) is the National Governing Body (NGB) of quidditch in Spain, affiliated to the International Quidditch Association.[1] It began in 2013 as a Facebook page and as an internet forum, to coordinate and gather the players and teams that were appearing in Spain until it became an association.

Since its creation, the AQE has tried to expand his networks in all the country, seeing the number of teams increaseover the months and creating the first Spanish national quidditch team to participate in the 2015 European Games in Sarteano, Italy.[2]

Competitive structure

Like most NGBs, the AQE structures its competitions in several small tournaments and a national tournament that gathers all the teams of the country. Each region is in charge of organising a championship whose results are used to seed teams for the Spanish Cup.

The AQE also works with the Catalan Quidditch Association to create tournaments at the peninsular level.
