From October 8 to 12, 2025, Marrakech becomes the capital of amateur padel by hosting an international tournament pitting a French team against a Moroccan team. A unique encounter, both friendly and competitive, organized in an exceptional setting, at the heart of the city's largest padel club: Padel square.
A tournament to experience padel differently
This France vs Morocco tournament, sponsored by the emerging brand SCUD, stands out for its spirit: here, there are no points to be won, but a real human and sporting experience, to be enjoyed among enthusiasts.
Laurent Paillusseau, organizer of the event, sums up the spirit well:
"We don't come looking for a ranking, but to defend the colors of our nation in an atmosphere where competition rubs shoulders with conviviality."
With 40 French and 40 Moroccan teams expected (men and women), the tournament promises a consistent level of play thanks to a simple rule: only players ranked above the 1500th French rank will be able to participate. This guarantees a balanced, accessible, and, above all, memorable clash.

An exceptional setting for a complete experience
All matches will be played at Padel Square, a sports complex located just minutes from downtown Marrakech, features six outdoor tracks, a welcoming clubhouse, and a dining area showcasing local flavors. The atmosphere promises to be warm and friendly on the pitch... and off.
The tournament will follow a classic format: two sets of six games each, plus a super tiebreak in the event of a third set. Each team will play at least one match per day, and organizers are ensuring participants are released from 2:6 p.m. to allow everyone to enjoy the Moroccan evenings. Festive events will also be organized throughout the stay.
