Asociación Quidditch España is the National Governing Body (NGB) of quidditch in Spain, affiliated to the International Quidditch Association.[1] The current president is Yeray Espinosa and the vice-president Rion Blake. 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 recent creation, the AQE has tried to expand his networks in all the country seeing the number of teams increase a lot in the last months and creating the first ever Spanish national quidditch team to participate in the European Games that celebrated in Sarteano, Italy in July 2015.[2]

Competitive structure
Like in most of NGBs at international level, the AQE structures his competitions in small tournaments and a national tournament that gathers all the teams of the country. Being the teams nowadays so separated, they chose to do regional tournaments, using them to seed teams in the national cup. Each region decides how this championship is.
The AQE also works with Associación of Quidditch of Catalonia to create tournaments in peninsular level.
