Le padel will be an Olympic discipline by 2032 at the latest, it is now a certainty. From politicians to athletes, there is no longer any doubt.

Le padel validates the 3 Olympic stages

The question is not whether the padel will be an Olympic sport one day since it is obvious.

The question is whether he will be at the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles or if he will have to wait for the 2032 Olympic Games in Australia. The XXXVᵉ Olympiad will take place in 2032 in Brisbane, and we already hear loud voices who hope for padel during these Olympics.

After Europe and Asia: Latin America

Alors que le padel is part of the disciplines of European games and Asian games (note: which have yet to be confirmed), it's the turn of South America to give in to the wave padel.

It must be said that it was quite surprising not to already see the padel during these South American Games while the countries of Latin America are historically very fond of padel for several decades, starting with Brazil and Argentina.

We see it again during Mendoza Premier Padel with attendance records.

With the official announcement from FIP that the padel will be part of the South American games from the 2022 edition (which will take place next October in Paraguay), the voices are released behind the scenes: “this is a decisive 3rd step, the padel will be Olympic".

Le padel will be Olympic. This sport is becoming a major economic issue. This sport is very telegenic, it's a team sport, which is for everyone. And above all, all the continents are affected by this wave.

Will it be present from 2028 or will we have to wait until 2032?

To your predictions!
