The FIP communicated the different hats before the draw for the World Championships padel 2022, which will take place this Saturday at 19:00 p.m..

In addition to knowing that France will evolve exceptionally in groups of five nations (with the additions of the United Arab Emirates in the ladies and the Qatar for men), we discover this Saturday morning the different hats and the procedure for the draw.

If the seeds were already known (these are the 4 first of the previous edition, both men and women), we did not know what it would be like for other nations. Now we are set. Here are the compositions of the different hats.

Men

  • Hat 1: Spain, Argentina, Brazil, France
  • Hat 2: Italy, Paraguay, Uruguay, Chile
  • Hat 3: Belgium, United Kingdom, Mexico, United Arab Emirates
  • Pot 4: Ecuador, Egypt, Netherlands, Portugal
  • Pot 5: Qatar

Women

  • Hat 1: Spain, Argentina, Italy, France
  • Pot 2: Brazil, Belgium, Mexico, Germany
  • Hat 3: Netherlands, Paraguay, Uruguay, USA

Portugal as a scarecrow

As you will have understood, for both men and women, the scarecrow of this World Championship is Portugal. Indeed, having passed through the qualifications, the Lusitanian teams are both in pot 4 whereas they would have, on paper, the level to be part of the top seeds!

While Argentina and Spain obviously have no one to worry about, for seeds 3 and 4 the situation is somewhat different. Indeed, imagine for example a group for men with France, Italy, Belgium and Portugal!

Same thing for the girls, since if Brazil and Portugal find themselves in the group of France or Italy, we will again be entitled to a “group of death”!

See you tonight to see which nations were the luckiest!
