Padel is expanding at high speed on a global scale and the United Arab Emirates are not spared by the magnitude of the phenomenon. The UAEPA has already planned an ambitious project to stick to the underlying trend of this sport.

Sheikh Saeed announces brand new structure for padel

Sheikh Saeed – also President of the UAEPA – officially announces a new structure to support and develop padel, and make it more competitive. The season will also be denser, with more tournaments.

The new padel structure will have the mission of giving novices the desire to take the plunge and become passionate, creating a pool of players and being able to seek out talent to help them progress.

A greater visibility which should make it possible to bring in investors, business partners and broadcasters, a bit like the FIP tournaments that Dubai has been organizing for a while now.

New season from mid-April

A new season that will begin soon during the NAS Ramadan 2021 to boost competitive padel in the United Arab Emirates. A points system will be implemented in the three categories:

  1. Gold: 3000 points for the finalists, 4000 points for the winners.
  2. Silver: 750 points for the finalists, 1000 points for the winners.
  3. Bronze: 180 points for the finalists, 250 points for the winners.

One thing is certain: Sheikh Saeed has understood the challenges and the potential that there is in padel and he wants to exploit it as it should be!
