The arrival in padel

In 2024, WME Sport launched a  padel division  entrusted to two major figures:  Hernán “Bebe” Auguste , former world No. 1, and  Daniel Dios , consultant and coach who has contributed to the development of padel in Europe and internationally. Their first big bet was to partner with  Arturo Coello , current world number 1, to support him in his sporting and extra-sporting career. The idea is not to multiply contracts as in tennis, but to  focus on the best  and to create a real sector dedicated to  Next Gen .

Why WME is important for FIP Promises Paris

Le  FIP Promises Paris   WME Sport  organized by a French trio composed of  Guillaume Solis  (vice-president of the Île-de-France League),  Jean-Thomas Peyrou  (recognized organizer and director of the Big Padel Jet Academy) and  Franck Binisti  (founder of Padel Magazine), with the support of the  FFT  and  Île-de-France League . WME Sport is the  main partner  and brings international credibility. Their presence attracts sponsors, gives unique visibility to young people and positions the tournament as a real launching pad.

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 !
