Five years ago, Monte Carlo International Sports was born, created by the Monegasque entrepreneur Fabrice Pastor, with the sole objective of developing the Padel. Among the many successes, the highlight was the historic organization for the first time of a Master in the heart of Monaco, the epicenter of international sporting events.

As if that were not enough, the ambitious Fabrice Pastor Cup project was set in motion. Circuit taking place in South America, its main goal was to be the springboard for young talents of the Padel, on the world sports scene. Franco Stupaczuk, Federico Chingotto, Juan Tello, Lucas Campagnolo, Lucas Bergamini, Martín Di Nenno, Javier Valdés… names now known and which have been exported to Europe, all come from the Monte Carlo International Sports school.

Like every lover of Padel has been able to follow it during the last months, the Monte Carlo International Sports team initiated the project that we currently know under the name of International Padel Tower. Among the main objectives of the project, one could note in particular the improvement of the conditions of the professional players and the practice in general. 90 days after its first presentation to the players in Valencia, we are obliged to officially communicate the end of the International project Padel Tour, as well as any activity relating to Padel and Monte Carlo International Sports.

The big bet taken by Monte Carlo International Sports, together with the best professionals of the Padel, was the creation of an alternative circuit opening the door to more freedom for the players and to the expansion of this sport at the world level.

A different format, open, unlimited, with undeniable improvement from an economic point of view and focused on the real professionalization of sport with the support of the different federations and brands, without any discrimination for the simple fact that the Padel is for everyone.

In his project, Monte Carlo International Sports planned as capital point, to rely on the best players in the ranking. Even if this figure was not achieved, the project's ambition was to attract 150 players competing in the current circuit, and opening up to hundreds of other players.

The youngest saw in the International Padel Tour, a showcase to the world, an open door to the worldwide expansion of the practice. We would like to thank them, our players, our MCIS Team, for supporting this initiative, in addition to all the other professionals with whom we have worked during these long months.

Following this disappointment, betrayals and lies, Fabrice Pastor made a point of honoring his word. It was always a question for him to continue to invest in Padel "Until the players fire me," and that day has arrived.

We are sorry and thank very much the national and international brands who believed in this project, to the promoters who trusted our ambition to develop the Padel. We also thank all the presidents of the various Federations and Associations of Padel, with whom we will not continue to work on the projects set up, because the story ends here.
