We suspected, there will be no padel at the 2028 Olympic Games. For the moment, our sport must be patient and be content with the European Games.

Those who dreamed of seeing padel at the Los Angeles Olympic Games can stop hoping now: it won't be the case.

Indeed, as expected, we do not find our discipline among the five additional sports whose integration was ratified at the beginning of the week by the 141st Session of the International Olympic Committee and which are:

  • baseball for men / softball for women
  • cricket
  • lacrosse
  • flag football
  • squash

We see that for this American edition, US sports were favored with baseball/softball, lacrosse and flag football. Cricket, widely practiced in Commonwealth countries in general and the number 1 sport in India, will also be there.

Squash, a discipline that has been popular with racket sports enthusiasts for many years, will make its first appearance at the Olympic Games in five years. Will it be joined by padel four years later?

Padel, an Olympic sport in 2032?
