In the previous parts, we talked about the French Tennis Federation and its timid involvement since 2014 in the development of the padel French. In 2018, the FFT enabled the padel to be supported and to have a real federation behind this sport. To help the clubs to welcome more and more customers, the FFT will seize the development of the padel and launch various calls for tenders in order to supervise and launch the first large project padel in France, the FFT padel tour. It took a while, but "Awareness is starting to take hold"

This project is the circuit padel benchmark in France comprising 8 stages and a master, which are tournaments bringing together the best French players. This circuit is a kind of tour in the biggest cities of France with exhibition matches. This involves the marketing of places, visitor packages and the search for sponsors.

Indeed, this circuit must have enough partners and investors to support the very important budgets of such an organization.

These partners are Babolat, Montecarlo International Sports, Smart trade, Assurinco, BNP Paribas, Huttopia, CFA-SPORT Méditerranée, UCPA, RTL2, ASB conseil, the BETEM group, Tennispro, Blackroll France, Padel sport events and Padel Magazine.

Thus, all the partners present on the circuit make it even more professional and promote communication of this sport throughout France. The players say they are happy that finally an organization around the padel is also efficient at all levels, that is to say, structures, stages, communication, endowments and medical assistance.

In 2018 the padel French has developed strongly thanks to the support of this practice by the FFT and the launch of a real project padel in France. This shows that the FFT now sees the padel as a lever for growth.
