Le padel is a sport that is gaining more and more followers in France, but also in the world in general. Focus on this growing notoriety.

The Spanish example

The experience of our neighbor Spain with the padel is obviously an excellent example for France. The most popular racket sport on the other side of the Pyrenees in front of tennis, the padel has experienced incredible development in Spain. Private and municipal clubs coexist to allow the public to benefit from a very varied offer, and this sport enjoys great popularity among “leisure” practitioners.

Le World Padel Tour offers a huge showcase at padel Spanish, but also worldwide, with audience records broken every weekend and an increasingly important place in the media, with more than 4 million views during the previous tournament.

As shown inawareness study of padel in France carried out by the FFT, padel has grown in popularity in France over the past two years. The FFT communication and support work and the great involvement of private, who notably launched “the wave of padel in France ”, make this sport more and more accessible and popular.

Almost all of France is now equipped with padel, but some regions are still far from their full potential. When the health crisis is over, the padel can normally continue its meteoric rise in peace.
