The former great Dutch footballer Robin Van Persie became a true fan of padel. And you will see that he seems particularly skilled on a field of padel.

In recent days, we have seen him share with his millions of fans on social networks his facilities on the track padel. As in football, this genius of the round ball seems particularly skillful with the yellow ball.

Other great football players preceded him in conquering the slopes of padel like Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Carles Puyol or his compatriot Patrick Kluivert.

What if a tournament padel could take place between former / current soccer stars? It would inevitably be a superb window for our sport which would allow it to conquer other countries and increase the number of fans in the world.

On twitter alone, Robin Van Persie has nearly 10 million fans. This shows the media power of these athletes and their power to make this sport even more audible.

In one of the videos we see Dutch trying out at the International Tournament Padel Experience by Madison in Rotterdam. Yes, the pleasure, but also the competition is never very far away and that's good!
