And if the padel could be part of the Olympic Games? For the Paris Olympics, we will not hide it from you: it will be very complicated, even if nothing has been done yet. On the other hand, the padel is expected to join the 2023 European Games to be held in Poland. It would be a very good thing for our sport.

 A delegation of the European Olympic Committees will be present at the XIth European Championships Padel in Rome to closely observe our sport for a future registration in the program of the European Games 2023.

During the visit, the Krakow 2023 Organizing Committee will also be present for an operational meeting.

Du padel at the Olympic games ? The road is still strewn with pitfalls… But we see some doors closed until then which are half-opened… And that is why we have the right to be optimistic about what will happen next.

The secretary general of the European Olympic Committees, Raffaele Pagnozzi, announces an official letter to the International Federation of Padel for:

inform that a delegation of the European Olympic Committees will attend the XIth European Championships Padel, which will take place in Rome from November 4 to 9.

As you know, we are studying the new sports program for the third edition of the European Games - which will take place in Krakow and in the Malopovska region (Poland) in 2023 - the Rome event will therefore be an opportunity to explore further the subject.

We will inform you later of the composition of the EOC delegation in order to organize meetings with you and the Krakow EG 2023 Organizing Committee.

Obviously with all this good news, we want to believe that all the European and world authorities will come together around a table to unite and develop the padel with one voice.
