While London is proving to be an expensive market for padel, another place could well become the new epicenter of this growing sport: Amsterdam. According to a PwC report produced for Playtomic, the Dutch capital offers particularly promising development potential.

According to the data, Amsterdam has a court occupancy rate of padel of 7,5 hours per day, thus falling between Barcelona, ​​with its 8,3 hours, and London, which peaks at only 6 hours. These figures underline a growing demand for padel in Amsterdam, which attracts more and more players.

Financially, Amsterdam also stands out with revenues of €36,5 per square meter per hour. Although this figure is lower than in London (€53/m²/h), it is important to note that rents in Amsterdam are significantly more affordable, coming in at €13,6 per square meter compared to €31,5 in London. This difference allows clubs in Amsterdam to spend around 50% of their income on rent, a figure comparable to Barcelona (41%) but much lower than that of London (79%).

This data shows that investing in a football club padel in Amsterdam can be particularly profitable. The city combines reasonable rents for a European capital with a clientele willing to pay relatively high prices, while offering more space for sports facilities, a rare commodity in London where expansion is limited.

However, the report highlights that the Netherlands is at a more advanced stage of development than the United Kingdom in the field of padel, although they remain behind countries like Spain, Portugal and Italy. This means that there is still significant growth potential, making Amsterdam even more attractive to investors and enthusiasts. padel.

If the Dutch continue to invest in this sport, Amsterdam could well become one of the main centers of the padel in Europe.
