Luigi Carraro, President of the International Federation of Padel, agreed to answer our questions during the European Championships of padel 2019 in Rome.

According to him, there is only one official championship, it is the one organized by the International Federation of Padel. However, we asked him questions about the fact that there were, for example, European sports federations such as football and that the EPA (European Padel Association) could position itself as this institution.

"The door is not closed", It is the words repeated by Luigi Carraro that explains several times his disappointment to see 2 championships unfold at the same time.
