The new leadership of the FFT has repeatedly expressed in recent weeks its want to develop the padel in France. And we can say that his ambitions are high!

France, already an experience with the FIP and the WPT

The FFT wants France to become one of the strong countries of the padel European, especially in receiving a step from WPT.

Historically, France has already hosted all WPT Challengers tournaments, whether at Winwin Padel or more recently at Home Padel. In addition, she also received FIP tournaments in Angers.

We can say that France has already had experience with the WPT and the FIP. The FFT gave its ambitions to Luigi Carraro during a press conference. The latter made it possible to confirm to the FIP the desire to develop the padel on French territory but also internationally.

The stars of padel worldwide in France?

The tournaments organized in France until now have always been secondary events. Indeed, the FIP Rise and the Challenger of the World Padel Tour do not allow the public to see the very best players in the world play. If some big names had made the trip to Casa Padel when they were not yet in the Top 10 (Juan Tello, Federico Chingotto, Alex Ruiz…), the French public would now like to be able to see the stars. A little like Denmark, which will host the gratin of the padel global !

In terms of implementation, the FFT wishes to receive one WPT tournament and 4 FIP tournaments per year. But will this be the first French Open of the World Padel Tour ? Or outright a Master? Will we be entitled to FIP Star, or even FIP Gold ?!

What we can tell you is that the new team in charge of Padel at the FFT is on all fronts. She has a lot of projects to develop our favorite sport!
