The  European Junior Championships  will truly begin for the French teams. Already qualified for the  Final 8 The French U20 and U20 girls' teams are waiting for the end of the group stages before entering their competition tomorrow.

An important event for the young French generation, two years after a very successful edition in  Budapest where the boys had finished  European runners-up , beaten in the final by Spain, while the girls had taken the  4th place .

French citizens who are committed

For the boys, France will be able to count on a solid group, with several young players already well-known on the French and international circuit:

 Jeremy Robert 

 Olivier Guy de Chamisso 

 Quentin Bernard 

 Sacha Devriendt 

 Gabriel Bessiere 

 Siméo Debroy 

 Paul Gueguen 

 Sacha Huard of the Marre

 Mélie Ribert 

The women's staff will consist of  Frédéric apple  et  Elodie Invernon .

Spain still the overwhelming favorite

As is often the case in youth competitions,  spain  will be the clear favorite. The Spanish talent pool remains impressive, with players already very well established in the youth rankings.

Among the boys, we will find in particular  Juan Zamora Perez ,  Samuel Rivas Garcia ,  Iago Fuertes Leonardo ,  Aaron Garcia Rubio ,  Alejandro Garcia Calahorro ,  Alex Leira Gavilán ,  Unax Arranz Maestre ,  Samuel Delgado Blázquez ,  Asier Estebanez Estevez ,  Alvaro Perez Gil ,  Christian Riesgo Mendez  et  Miguel Rodriguez Vilaret .

In the girls' competition, Spain will be able to count on  Paula Ferrán ,  Maria Delgado Medina ,  Martina Vera Cebollero ,  Daniela Portilla Gomez ,  Covadonga Verdejo Saiz ,  Susana Martin Marin ,  Mar Munera Vila ,  Elia Pons Plazas ,  Valentina Fernandez Lopez ,  Paula Garcia Molina ,  Eneritz Sola Manzanedo  et  Ana Villegas Monsa .

A very strong collective, with, as always, several profiles capable of making the difference in the big games.

Italy and Portugal are worth watching.

Behind Spain, other nations could come along and play spoiler.  Italy  is making strong progress among young players and now has very competitive groups.  Portugal  It also remains dangerous, with a real padel culture and players capable of turning around close matches.

For the French, the objective will therefore be clear: to confirm their place among the best European junior nations and try to return to the podium.

The French U21 team wants to confirm

After losing the final to Spain two years ago in the boys' competition, this French generation will definitely want to repeat a great run.

The format of  Final 8  will leave little room for error. They will need to get into the tournament quickly, manage the early matches well, and be ready for the decisive games.

The French U20 and U18 teams have the tools to succeed in this competition. Now they need to translate that potential into results, facing increasingly stiff European competition.

I discovered padel directly during a tournament, and frankly, I didn't really like it at first. But the second time, it was love at first sight, and since then, I haven't missed a single match. I'm even ready to stay up until 3am to watch a final of Premier Padel !
