The planet padel could well be faced with a very complicated dilemma to solve: what European Championship of padel to choose ?

On the one hand, the International Federation of Padel (FIP) will offer its championship in Italy. And on the other, the European Association of Padel, will also offer a European Championship of padel in Portugal. And to top it off, the two events of padel will take place on the same date from November 4 to 10.

What happened ?

Very complicated to understand this case. We remember that the FIP as the EPA seemed a partner time. The EPA has repeatedly indicated that it is workingunder the aegis of FIP“. Seen from the outside, the relationship seemed serene and interesting, as there are good people on both sides who are working hard to develop the relationship. padel.

However, the European Championships Padel blew it up. And these two institutions found themselves rivals.

Today, the objective is to rally as many nations as possible to its European Championship of padel and if possible the main ones, starting with Spain, Portugal, France and Italy.

Except that today, these are two blocks that seem to oppose:

  • Spain and Portugal with EPA
  • and France and Italy with FIP

Can we get out?

The FIP and the EPA are two forces which aim to develop the padel. These two organizations have everything to do great things together. They have strengths and weaknesses. And in relation to the outside, for sure, that this opposition makes our sport grow.

We are certainly naive, but we want to believe that these two institutions find an agreement to unify their strength and offer a single and great European Championship of padel 2019.
