Luigi Carraro, President of the International Federation of Padel, gave us an interview at the Madrid Masters for the World Padel Tour.

He went back on FIP's ambitions to reform itself by giving the International Federation all the tools to "accompany the padel worldwide".

Le padel is a trendy sport. It is the most fashionable sport in the whole world. It is important not to let go now. But on the contrary to do the maximum so that it becomes a sport that lasts over time.

Le padel is developing on all continents. It is an asset for it to become an Olympic sport.

For Japan, unfortunately, it is too late, we have no time to validate it as Olympic Sport, especially the Olympic Committee validates this month the sports for 2020.

On the other hand, for Paris, it is our objective. The padel will be Olympic sport.

it's going to be very difficult. But with the help of the French Tennis Federation, which is one of the most powerful federations in the world, we can do it.
