Eight wheelchair athletes will participate in the first edition of the Hero's Five Padel Cup, men and women between 30 and 60 years old  ready to compete on the slopes of the Tennis Club d'Èze.

Padel is increasingly attracting wheelchair athletes from all walks of life, including  Eleonora De Paolis (former canoeist at the Tokyo Paralympic Games)  et  Daniela De Blasi, padel player  in a wheelchair.

During the event, there will also be the  Women Padel Cup  in collaboration with  Women's Padel Movement , a sports association founded in 2019 in Bologna which has approximately  600 female athletes .

During the gala dinner at the Twiga in Monte-Carlo, a space will be dedicated to  a solidarity auction  on jerseys of some of the most successful national and international padel champions.

 Proceeds will be donated in full to NGOs.  :  Fight Aids Monaco , an NGO founded by  Princess Stephanie  2004 in, and  the Heal Foundation  which supports the work of doctors, nurses and biologists who work daily in treatment and research in the field of pediatric neuro-oncology.
