Beyond sporting results, padel can also become a vehicle for solidarity, resilience and reconstruction.  This is the message conveyed by  Guillaume Delamarre  and the Belgian  Anthony Goossens  when  P500 from Noyelles-sur-Selle  (Padel Football Club), played this Monday, May 25, 2026. Under the colors of the association  PLAY AGAIN The two players took advantage of their presence on the slopes to defend a vision of sport that goes far beyond the framework of competition.

In a tournament renowned for its high level of competition and the quality of its field, the Franco-Belgian duo came seeking much more than victories: to raise awareness of an initiative that places the  sport-health , the  transcendence  and supporting people affected by the disease is at the heart of its work.
