Amateur padel is taking a new step forward in France with the arrival of a new and ambitious concept: World Padel Quest. From June 20th, registrations will open for what promises to be one of the greatest sporting adventures open to all enthusiasts, from beginner to experienced player... as long as they are not professionals.
A format accessible to all levels
The principle is simple: to allow everyone, whatever its ranking, to experience a progressive and fair competition, where everyone faces players of their level. The course takes place in three phases :
- Local phase (February to April 2026): a series of 5 matches maximum in each department to secure a ticket for the next round.
- Regional phase (May to July 2026): the best compete to win their place in the final stage.
- The Dubai Masters : a spectacular finale, all expenses paid (flight, 5-star hotel, catering) for the 512 best players selected.

A competition segmented into 16 categories
To ensure fairness and diversity of profiles, 16 categories are planned :
- Men : six ranking categories (+60000 and unranked, 40k-60k, 20k-40k, 5k-20k, 1.5k-5k, 50-1.5k)
- Men over 45 years old : two categories (depending on whether they are above or below 20)
- Women : five levels ranging from unranked to players ranked between 50 and 1
- Women over 45 years old : a dedicated category
- Mixed pairs : two categories depending on the level of the partners
A journey… and a quest
After just 11 matches, the winners of each category will fly to the Dubai MastersA unique international final where each participant will represent their region, in a friendly and festive competition, but also very high-level.
The idea behind World Padel Quest is clear: open the doors of dreams to amateurs, without elitism, by valuing passion and commitment on the court. You no longer need to be a professional player to experience a great padel adventure.
Registration from June 20 on the dedicated platform.
