Philippe Cerfon, the President of FEPA expressed to us his great joy to see the APT Padel Tour arrive in Europe.

The sports world is currently tense by the health crisis.

Among all of these issues related to COVID 19, there are nonetheless some positive things that are being built.

And this collaboration with the APT Padel Tour is one of them.

The circuit is no longer just an American circuit, it officially becomes a real world circuit. Its ambitions are great.

The European member countries that will offer a stage will necessarily be winners because the APT PADEL TOUR is a very fine machine that has already proven its ability to produce quality events despite its young age.

the APT has a global vocation. And this collaboration is part of this register.

With the renewal of the Fabrice Pastor Cup and the pre-professional tournaments, we have a real tool for promoting and spreading padel in countries where padel is little known.

Long live the APT PADEL TOUR.
