France will have a National Equipment Center dedicated to padel. It's official. The site will consist of 14 fields of padel and will be located on the island of Puteaux, a space already dedicated to tennis in particular and which will therefore be completely modernized.

It's a huge chance for France to be able to offer this CNE padel unique in Europe and even in the world. No federation currently offers a national training center for padel for its elites with so much space, so much infrastructure and so modern.

A "exceptional site with an area of ​​11 hectares". The executive committee of the FFT will however have to approve the contract of Delegation of Public Service planned for next December. But this is more of a formality.

Hubert Picquier, the elected official in charge of padel for the FFT, also explained to us that “the CNE padel will aim to keep our best French players in France and offer them the best to allow them to evolve in France and on the international scene".

Our best French players are lucky and can say thank you to this huge gift and the FFT relies on them "to return to the fold“, Even if it is not so easy for French players expatriated in Spain because the professional circuit of padel mainly takes place on Spanish lands.

The other good news for Ile-de-France residents who love padel, it is the possibility of being able to benefit from this site. Indeed, unlike the CNE Tennis where not everyone can access it, the CNE Padel will be open to the outside and will function almost as a club padel.

The Paris region has thus acquired a new major club padel in the Paris region after confirmation from the club padel of Asnières-sur-Seine planned “a priori” for the first half of 1.

Who said the padel was not developing? 😉
