QSI President Nasser Al-Khelaïfi can smile again thanks to padel after some disappointments with the PSG team. QSI, FIP and FFT are propelling padel among the greats with its entry into Roland-Garros.

This victory opens the way to the Olympic Games no later than 2028 in Los Angeles. It is now a certainty.

A very strong moment for padel on a global scale

For Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, President of Qatar Sports Investments (QSI), “ Today is a very strong moment for padel, whether in France, Europe or worldwide. From the first day we have said that the new official circuit would propel the discipline to the top. The organization of a Major at Roland-Garros stadium comes to testify to this. This tournament is truly special and will be one of the four “Major” events. I would like to thank the FFT for its passion and vision regarding the development of padel in France ».
