The project is starting to make a big splash in the world of padel... A premium XXL club will open its doors between the end of 2025 and the beginning of 2026 in Soler, in the Pyrénées-Orientales, just five minutes from Perpignan. This sports complex, announced as a true reference, promises to redefine the practice of padel in the region.
A complex of 11 tracks
What we know so far suggests an ambitious and unique project for the region. Here are some details revealed about this future temple of padel:
- 11 indoor tracks to practice all year round, whatever the weather conditions
- A central area equipped with stands to accommodate the public during major events
- Wide exits on all terrains, facilitating the fluidity of the game
- A ceiling height varying between 9 and 11 meters, thus offering optimal playing conditions
- A 600 m² clubhouse, including a restaurant, a pro shop, modern changing rooms, a raised terrace, and premises to rent for various activities
This will be the first club in the Pyrénées-Orientales to be entirely designed and built to meet the specific requirements of padel. Enough to make Soler an essential meeting place for fans of this booming sport.
A project led by a local figure
Behind this ambitious project is a major player in padel competitions in France and the region, a local boy well known to fans of the sport. His involvement guarantees that the club will not only be a place for high-level practice, but also a center of life for the local padel community.
Le Soler, future capital of padel?
With such impressive infrastructure and a strategic location close to Perpignan, Soler seems well on its way to becoming a major padel hub in the south of France.
“The club was created to host the French championships, P2000, FIP…”
Who will be at the head of this promising complex? We'll let you guess...
Franck Binisti discovered padel at the Club des Pyramides in 2009 in the Paris region. Since then, padel has been part of his life. You often see him touring France to cover major French padel events.

Hello,
If the wish is to promote this sport, the strategy of establishing it near homes is bad because such a structure will necessarily degrade the living conditions of the local owners who have sacrificed themselves in order to build their living space. Despite all the provisions that could be taken, this will necessarily generate nuisances for the residents of the neighborhood. Such a project must have its place in a suitable space.
