It is a small bomb in the world of padel and the European Padel Championships. Our colleague and partner Jorge Filipe Figueira from Padel Wall confirms that Spain and Portugal will participate in the European Championships of Padel in Lisbon from November 4 to 10.

This means that Spain and Portugal, two leading nations of European and world padel, will not participate in the other European padel championships organized by the International Padel Federation. Padel in Italy at the same time.

This information is also validated by the European Association of Padel. Even if by November things can certainly still change.

Indeed, last July during theeuroamerica Padel cup, Alfredo Garbisu, the President of the Spanish Federation, Ricardo Oliveira, the President of the Portuguese Federation and finally Philippe Cerfont, the President of the EPA, looked back on the success of this Ryder Cup of padel, but also talked about the future by talking about the European Padel Championships in Lisbon.

These two great nations will not be alone. We can also tell you that Hungary, a nation that increasingly speaks padel, led among others by the great Milán Terkovics, one of the top players of the Canaries and who will participate in some stages of the World Padel Tour, should be at the European Padel Championships in Portugal.

Let us recall that on the side of the European Padel Championships organized by the FIP, France and Italy have already confirmed that they will be in Rome. Russia, a nation where padel is also developing could participate in the European Championships in Italy even if it remains to be confirmed.

Some nations in a position "very uncomfortable politically" are thinking of proposing 2 delegations: One that would go to Italy and the other to Portugal.
