Two ambitious French teams

France is therefore one of the nations to watch in both tables.

Men will try to do as well as, or even better than, their  bronze obtained during the last edition while the women will be looking to recover the last few laps after their  silver medal in 2024 .

The group stage will continue until the  wednesday 16 september , before the start of the final phase the following day.

The Senior World Championships have therefore begun in Buenos Aires, with  two French teams that can harbor real ambitions .

I discovered padel directly during a tournament, and frankly, I didn't really like it at first. But the second time, it was love at first sight, and since then, I haven't missed a single match. I'm even ready to stay up until 3am to watch a final of Premier Padel !
