If you play chess and want to move on to official competition, you'll need a Catalan Chess Federation licence. Here's how to get one in Lleida.

What does a licence let you do?

  • Play official tournaments and get a Catalan, Spanish and FIDE rating.
  • Play the team league with your club.
  • Sports insurance during competitions.

  • Under 14: €15
  • Under 16: €20
  • 16 to 20: €40

There are reduced prices for people with disabilities. See the full list on the Federated page.

Step by step

  1. Contact the club via the form, email or WhatsApp.
  2. Pay the fee for your category: we'll tell you how.
  3. You're licensed! You can start playing official tournaments.

Common questions

Do I need to renew it every year? Yes, the licence is yearly and renewed each calendar year.

Can I get a licence just to play tournaments? Yes, you don't need to attend lessons.
