We will try to locate the padel today and what are the plans for its future.

Le padel evolves every month and its projects established in 2017 and 2018 such as for example "my padel tour ”are gaining in popularity.

 The French team of padel was built this year and is already competing in competitions all over the world. Their performance increases communication around the padel French and this makes it possible to reach sports channels such as "Infosports", and to have better visibility.

Many projects are currently being negotiated, for example the creation of a padel in 15rd borough of Paris, which would allow this sporting practice to be at the heart of a big city and not in the suburbs which is sometimes difficult to access for people living in Paris.

In addition, the presentation of padel at the 2014 Olympic Games in Paris is still relevant today which is indicative of the potential of this sport and the evolution that it may have in the future.

We recently saw the launch of Network 4padel which becomes the biggest club of padel of the Bordeaux region with more than 7 courts of padel. The brand hits hard in 2018 with more than 45 padel distributed throughout France in 15 clubs. We are witnessing more and more the creation of important brand for the padel wanting to set up in France and become the benchmark for the padel French.

A multitude of projects appear each month in the padel which shows that this sporting practice has been solidly supervised since 2018 by the FFT and that a solid strategy is being put in place. It is not impossible to see the popularity of the padel explode in 2019 thanks to these various projects which make this sporting practice more and more visible.
