From April 7 to 9, 2024, the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco will host the first edition of the Padel Best Expo, a prestigious exhibition dedicated to the world of padel imagined by the Italian company BSG, already at the initiative of the first Five Padel Cup (April 2023, between Eze and Monte-Carlo). For the occasion, several emblematic figures and legends of world sport, largely from the world of football (but not only), will be present!

La Padel Best Expo will also host the Cupra FIP Tour 2024, the world professional circuit of the International Padel Federation. Among the 120 tournaments organized throughout the year on five continents, a stage is therefore scheduled inside the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco during the Padel Best Expo with a competition (it will be apart from the Five Padel Cup) dedicated to the players who participate in this prestigious championship. The deadline will be official and the points awarded through the respective performances will be counted for the Cupra FIP Tour 2024 world ranking.

The exhibition

La Padel Best Expo is the event not to be missed for padel lovers. And for good reason: for three days, BSG invited the biggest brands/companies and global suppliers to Monaco to exhibit their flagship products, related to the practice of this rapidly expanding sport. Roberta Ceccarelli, CEO of BSG : " The Padel Best Expo is based on three fundamental points: entertainment, presentation of the world of padel and innovation (new products and material developments, etc.)"

The aim is to shine a spotlight on current trends, in an environment conducive to sports and professional meetings. Equipment, facilities, match fields (courts)... the Grimaldi Forum will be set up to showcase these elements to the many observers expected on site. As a result, the exhibition will allow regular (or professional...) players to meet up and enjoy a unique experience around their shared passion: padel. It will also be an opportunity for novices to discover the specificities of the discipline and its playing characteristics, in contact with professionals from the sector present for the Padel Best Expo.

The second edition of the Five Padel Cup

It will take place inside the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco. Several temporary padel courts will be installed by the organization, enough to allow the Five Padel Cup to take place in the heart of the Padel Best Expo. Five tournaments will therefore be scheduled simultaneously on the courts mentioned and during the three days. Their aim will be to highlight the universality of this sport by inviting, at the same time and in an exceptional setting, personalities from different backgrounds. A way of demonstrating that the richness of padel is in the diversity of the profiles of its practitioners.

Padel Best Expo = Exhibition + Five Padel Cup 2 + Cupra FIP Tour 2024

The five competitions will be presented in the coming weeks... but the organizers can already announce the arrival of Ukrainian legend Andriy Shevchenko. Golden Ball in 2004, the former AC Milan striker will participate in the Padel Best Expo. Part of the funds raised will be donated to the “Football for Ukraine” association.

A partnership between the BSG company and the Monegasque Federation of Padel

The Monegasque Padel Federation is officially a partner of the Padel Best Expo. Something to directly involve and promote (in different ways...) those who allow Monegasque padel to shine internationally, through the competitions they have played over the years (European championship, qualification for the world championships, etc.).

Roberta Ceccarelli, CEO of BSG, organizing company of the Padel Best Expo : "I am very proud of the realization of this partnership with the Monaco Padel Federation. Together, we want to make this project a great success. The Padel Best Expo is a benchmark, hosting one of the most prestigious events in the world of padel (Cupra FIP Tour 2024)... which will complement the other activities (Five Padel Cup, exhibition, etc.) already scheduled for the occasion. This collaboration with the FIP will be an important driver for the overall development of the discipline and a real added value to the major event that we are organizing, with the BSG team. »

Cécilia D'Ambrosio, president of the Monaco Padel Federation : “I am delighted to be able to support and participate, under the aegis of the federation, in this magnificent project set up by the BSG company. There Padel Best Expo fully corresponds to the values ​​that we wish to convey and to our daily objectives, on the development of the discipline in the Principality. A collaboration was thus born and its main interest will be the local promotion of a sport whose popularity continues to increase throughout the world. It's very positive. »
