The World Championships padel 2022 is about to begin. The majority of the teams, including the French teams are already present in the Golf. Everything you need to know about the World Cup, three days before the opening ceremony.

France seeded

16 men's teams and 16 women's teams will take part in the group stage. Four teams will be placed in the four groups, seeded Spain, Argentina, France and Italy (women only) and Brazil (men only).

On the women's side, France's ultimate goal will be a 3rd place, but it is possible that Sweden and Portugal will end up in the same group as the French, which would complicate things.

On the men's side, the podium seems utopian, as Spain, Argentina and Brazil are above. It will be necessary to fight with Portugal, Italy and Paraguay to reach the semi-finals.

The Swedish men's team will be absent from this World Cup, beaten by Portugal in Derby during the European qualifying phase.

Participating countries

In the ladies, 16 nations will participate and no major nation will be absent. Here is the full list of women's teams: Argentina, Brazil, Belgium, Chile, Italy, Japan, Mexico, France, Germany, Netherlands, Paraguay, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Uruguay, United States.

Among the men, Sweden will be the great absent nation, beaten by the Portuguese in the European qualifying phase. Here is the full list of men's teams: Argentina, Brazil, Belgium, Chile, Italy, Ecuador, Mexico, France, Great Britain, Netherlands, Paraguay, Portugal, Spain, Egypt, Uruguay, United Arab Emirates.

The most beautiful in the world

If last year's Worlds in Doha had been considered the finest event in padel of history, Dubai wants to do better. Sheikh Mansoor, chairman of the Dubai Sports Council (DSC), was clear in the interview.

The site chosen to host the event is the very luxurious Dubai Aviation Club. The players will have the comfort of being in the hotel located in the very facilities of the club. Eight panoramic courts will be installed outdoors.

The official ball will be the Bullpadel NextPro. Track exits will be permitted at all matches.

For the first time in history, the World Championships of padel will distribute prize-money to the federations. This distribution will be equal between men and women.
