The World Minerals Championships taking place from 12 to 20 October 2019 in Benicassim (Spain) are in serious jeopardy. After accusations by 4 country against the FIP, it is possible that the world of minors is canceled. France, present on this event could be affected.

Everything started in Portugal, the country that organized the event. In February 2019, the information falls from the Portuguese federation that 2019 will not be the year of the world of minors. FIP must find a quick solution to the problem.

The Spanish Federation of Padel and the International Federation of Padel accept the candidacy of the city of Benicassim as part of the Valenciana Federation of padel for the organization of the juvenile world from October 12 to 20, 2019.

This decision is not unanimous in the participating countries because if we all agree on the fact that we had to find a quick solution, in a suitable place, easy to access, with accommodation and all the necessary infrastructure , the choice of the city and the club was to be made in General Assembly, which was not the case.

Senegal, the Dominican Republic, Canada and Sweden demand that the event not be carried out for non approval in GA.

Still under discussion today, it seems that the world of miners is maintained. Let's just hope that the atmosphere between countries is not flouted.

The question is: Can FIP and VET manage the padel global or should all countries, gathered around a table, decide on its future? You choose.

We should find a consensus not to penalize the players ultimately for reasons other than sports.

In any case, the Benicassim grounds are there, ready to welcome for the promotion of padel For the young. So can't we do things naturally and simply?
