We know well Marianne Vandaele for her position as head of development padel women at the FFT. A position that she has held with fervor and dedication since january-february 2022. Always present at big events and traveling from club to club to discover the padel Women's, she was omnipresent on the stage of padel French.

Figure of padel French and feminine

As we know, the padel is a discipline that is spreading at great speed in France but which is still struggling to completely seduce the players. Only 18% of licensees are women, a reality that the FFT is trying to change. This involves in particular the actions carried out by Marianne.

But Marianne Vandaele is also a champion of padel. On the French circuit since over 7 years, she occupied the 3e ranking place and played under the colors of the French team at 3 times. It's also a bronze medal during the European Championships in Portugal in 2017!
