This weekend, during FFT Padel Tour Lyon in Esprit Padel, Hubert Picquier, the elected official in charge of padel but also the member of the board of the International Federation of Padel, returned to these European Championships of Padel 2019 which will take place next November.

Hubert Picquier explains to us that we must not go too far in confirming the location of the site of the European Championships of Padel. So far the FIP has not confirmed Portugal, as it has not confirmed Spain or Italy.

A decision should be made soon. The European association of padel (EPA) and the International Federation of Padel (FIP) will meet soon to put an end to this saga.

What is certain is that it is not France "because it's still a bit early for us. We must unlock budgets ... But we think about it."
