Max Sjövall is the emblematic Finnish player. With his club Padel House, he will represent Finland at the International Club Cup Padel in Malaga in October.

Padel House is 33 courts

Padel Magazine : Can you introduce yourself and tell us more about Padel House?

Max Sjövall: "I am 35 years old and I am the only Finnish player to play regularly on the World Padel Tour. My best WPT ranking is 225 and I've been Finnish champion nine times. Right now I am in rehabilitation after having knee surgery 4 weeks ago.”

"Padel House is the largest padel centre in Finland with 33 courts and also the largest club in terms of members.”

We players loved the experience in Malaga

Padel Magazine : Last year Padel House took part in the 5th edition of the European Cup of Clubs of Padel. How was this experience? Have you met many other clubs?

Max Sjövall: “Last year I personally couldn’t participate, but we had a good team and finished in the top 10. Our players loved the experience and the opportunity to meet and compete with players from all over the world. It was also a great opportunity for our players to share our padel story in Finland and learn how padel is growing in other countries.”

Padel Magazine : Again this year, Padel House will represent Finland in this competition, but this time it is the International Club Cup of Padel. Why are you coming back?

Max Sjövall: “After last year's tournament, we knew we wanted to come back. It's a great opportunity for our players to play tough matches against new opponents and of course to measure their level at international level.”

This year it will be even better

Padel Magazine : From now on, do you want to be present every year?

Max Sjövall: “I think it will become a tradition for our club and from what I've heard this year's tournament will be even better than last year's.”

Padel Magazine : How is padel developing in Finland?

Max Sjövall: “Padel is growing rapidly in Finland and last year alone the number of players increased from 30 to over 000. Currently we have about 60 padel courts in Finland and we will definitely exceed the 000 court mark by the end of the year.”
