As the 2026 season approaches,  Kuikma Padel Decathlon's specialist brand, is launching a  partial reshuffling of his team of professional players As is the case every year on the circuit, several changes are reshaping the sporting project. Three significant departures have already been officially announced:  Maxi Sánchez ,  Lucía Pérez  et  Iván Ramírez del Campo .

Maxi Sánchez, a new chapter begins

The most notable departure concerns  Maxi Sánchez , former world number one and central figure of the Kuikma project since its inception. The Argentinian had been one of the key players in launching the brand on the professional circuit.

In his message, Kuikma emphasizes his crucial role: beyond his performances, Maxi Sánchez contributed to  structure the professional range by bringing his expertise at the highest level. His involvement also allowed the brand to better understand the demands of international padel and to develop products in line with the expectations of players.

Lucía Pérez and Iván Ramírez del Campo are also leaving

At the same time,  Lucía Pérez  She too is leaving the team. Kuikma highlights her commitment and contribution to product development, as well as her positive attitude, both on and off the field.

 Iván Ramírez del Campo  will not continue the adventure either. The brand is highlighting its  fighting spirit  and its evolution over the seasons, in a collaborative context marked by intensity and work.

A logical evolution in professional padel

These departures are part of a classic pattern in the circuit. Each season, brands adjust their rosters according to their sporting objectives, performance, and the emergence of new profiles.

For  Kuikma Padel This transition marks the end of a cycle initiated with experienced players, who helped to lay the foundations of the project.

With a partially renewed team, Kuikma is now preparing for what's next, relying on new profiles and a strategy still focused on the  development of high-performance and affordable products .
