Philippe Cerfont, the President of the European Federation of Padel (FEPA) and the new President of the Belgian Federation will be the guest of the 100% padel show on Friday May 22 at 18 p.m.: LE FACE-A-FACE. An interview where we will talk about the development of padel, but also institutional problems.

Philippe Cerfont - the origins

Before getting to the heart of the matter, we will return to the journey of Philippe Cerfont.

Who is he? How did he get into padel? What was his journey to become the President of FEPA?

The history of FEPA

Before becoming FEPA, we were talking about EPA. Is there a specific reason for this change?

What is the history of this organization? Why did you create it? What is its purpose ? Why not have created it with the FIP?

FEPA: Is it a provocation to the FIP that was already against having EPA?

FEPA and FIP 

The FEP and the FIP (International Federation of Padel) do not get along. Why ? What are the reasons which led these two institutions to go to war? What is the source of this conflict?

The world of padel against this conflict

The world of padel wants this conflict to end, however, last November, the two institutions each organized 2 European championships of Padel, one in Rome and the other in Lisbon. Can there be an end? Is it good for the image of padel?

What could make the two institutions come together to work together?

We talk about the good of padel, yet "no one wants to give up for the good of our sport" can be read or heard in padel. Isn't there a risk of seeing padel lose credibility by finding ourselves in such a situation?

FEPA and France

What is the relationship of FEPA with France and the FFT?

What are the links between FEPA and the APT PADEL TOUR and the World Padel Tour ? If tomorrow, a stage of the APT takes place in Europe, we could see the FEPA partner of the event?

The FIP said it would study the case of nations that did not participate in the 2019 European Championships… Was there a follow-up? If the world championship takes place, what are the possible consequences for FEPA and for the nations which did not participate in the European Championships in Rome.

FEPA: The work done and to be done

Can we take stock of FEPA?

What are the next FEPA deadlines?

What is FEPA's opinion on the organization of the World Cup in Qatar?

Frequent

Do we have a chance to see our 2 international bodies come closer?
