Alfredo Garbisu is the president of the Spanish Federation of Padel. At the microphone of our colleagues from Padel Spain he evokes his fear for the future of the sector padel.

Spain is looking for a plan to return to its activities. The president of the government Pedro Sánchez having pronounced yesterday Tuesday, the near future is not all rosy.

As for padel, the President of the FEP is counting on the players and their common sense so that the activity resumes in the best conditions. If everyone works together, we will all get out of this difficult ordeal very quickly.

Difficult ordeal, that is exactly what the padel Spanish. A large number of clubs, players, monitors, regional federations and a national federation which cannot help, here is the picture.

Even if the Spanish government announces the ppossible resumption of individual training for professionals as well as the opening of high performance centers under security measures, the resumption of competitions is not yet possible, and even less the resumption of leisure matches.

So here is the situation of padel in Spain. Clubs that have no entry of money, professional players who no longer have competitions, organizers who can no longer organize, and federations with little funds that can not help and revive the recovery of the activity.

As Garbisu says: "Later the activity will resume, more damage will be done to our sport and their actors".
