malaga padel 2015Big change of scene: There would be more world in Malaga next November.

These championships seem well canceled simply.

The worst suspicions were confirmed today: Organizing officials confirmed the suspension of the 12th World Championships in padel  which was to take place from November 9 to 15 in Malaga.

The organizers explain that the main pairs of the padel world (in the ranking of the International Federation of Padel) did not wish to participate in these world championships padel.

Disruption and financial loss for participants

These championships discredit the international bodies of padel.

First, these world championships padel had to be done in Miami. The FIP will not fail to congratulate itself and to make an official statement in this regard.

But last January, a turnaround. The Padel Pro Tour that we thought was absorbed by the World Padel Tour stands out by withdrawing the organization of these world championships from the FIP. Miami could have been kept as the venue for these championships. But the PPT had decided otherwise. He finally chose Malaga, a cradle of padel.

While the end of registrations had been postponed to October 21, the PPT announced a day after the impossibility of achieving these world championships of padel.

Any questions?

First, why the world's best pairs of padel did not wish to participate in these world championships padel ?
Financial and political reasons certainly. We will certainly know a little more in the coming days.

The registered players, who had already paid plane tickets etc., will they be reimbursed?
It should be perfectly normal. However, nothing is less certain. What's even more incredible: There is nothing yet written about it on the website of the International Federation of Padel. There is therefore every chance that some pairs will still see each other tonight under the Malaga sun in 20 days.

Why postponed registration deadlines at 20 October if tournament cancellation was unavoidable?
Question that will certainly remain unanswered. But the organization of this event will be put to the test.

European Championship padel 2015Can the European championships be questioned?

This event has nothing to do with the worlds in Malaga since it is the FIP which directly manages the European Championships of padel. But we already know that Spain could miss the roll, which would obviously be a huge blow (of grace?) To this competition scheduled for December in the Netherlands. To be continued ...
