Governance in transition

After the storm, silence

These changes come in a particular context. In recent months, the PPA has led an unprecedented revolt: boycotting the tournaments of  Gijón  et  Cancún , virulent press conference against the FIP and Premier Padel, denunciation of a circuit deemed opaque and unbalanced. But after obtaining some concessions (such as the return to the old tables), the movement had run out of steam, giving way to a long silence.

Focus on 2026

The new management promises to revive the dynamic and will present at the meeting a  strategic plan for the end of 2025 and the financial year 2026 The stated objective: to consolidate a  Strong, united and durable professional padel , while defending players' rights.

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 !
