Resignation of the President of the International Federation of Padel : Daniel Patti

Daniel Patti resigns from the presidency of the International Federation of Padel. A controversial president who certainly finds himself pushed to resign.

A silence that makes a lot of people talk

The former President of the FIP explains to us that he "dbroadcasts for the good of the International Federation of Padel”Without wanting to explain the form and the rich news around the padel. Is this a way to come out on top? Not so sure. Obviously, this silence leads to strong speculation about what will happen next.

It must be said that the presidency of the International Federation of Padel has become a real issue for 2 years.

With the explosion of padel around the world, this position is becoming much more attractive than before.

The first applicant: Fabrice Pastor

The president of the company Monte Carlo International Sports did not hide it by denying that the presidency of the FIP could be one of its objectives. On social networks we have seen with many federations to advance on this topic.

Daniel Patti thus seemed isolated in his own camp. It is Diego Miller, the President of the Uruguayan Federation who takes the presidency in acting. In September, we should know the new president. For the moment apart from Fabrice Pastor, we do not know if there will be other contenders. But probably there will be only one.

On all fronts

Fabrice Pastor is on all fronts: The creation of a professional circuit (the International Padel Tour) to replace the current professional championship of padel (The World Padel Tour), the Fabrice Pastor Cup and the development of this circuit in Europe, major French-speaking events ...

Fabrice Pastor could thus be the new president of the International Federation of Padel and propose a professional circuit which would be directly attached to the FIP and the Federations. It would obviously be a huge blow. But it wouldn't be the first time.

  • The title of your article and "the silence that says a lot" do not provide any information on this event.
    So was it necessary to talk about this affair without saying anything?
    For my part, I will bring information lived in reality, and not in assumptions.
    I had wanted to meet Mr Patti on the occasion of a project to open a first club of Padel in the capital of a European country (outside the EU) 3 years ago, in order to obtain information on the federation of which he was the president and its functioning with the clubs.
    This meeting took place in this country, partly because I was then domiciled there, and secondly because he came there regularly.
    Because his visits, carried out outside his functions of president of the FIP, concerned a commercial activity which he looked after there, with the help of a third person, native and resident local.
    Which was present during our interview, which had not brought the support I had hoped for from FIP, which was not expected through some financial support. But maybe the help should not be on the right side of the table.
    Finally the project did not succeed, for other reasons more particularly.
    The language of wood, widely used in France, is still relevant in all areas ...
