Fernando Belasteguin  conquered the world as  padel player  (world No. 1 for 16 years). The Argentinian now wants to grow his padel clubs around the world.

After Alicante, it's Barcelona's turn

In 2020, following a very interesting opportunity, the project  White Padel Center  was born prematurely. In fact, planned for his post-career, this chain of padel clubs was born thanks to the possibility of recovering the Arena Alicante, in crisis due to the coronavirus.

Very quickly, the 14 courts of  White Padel Alicante Center  were built, with the support of the main sponsors of  Fernando Belasteguin  : Adeslas, Cupra and Wilson. With nearly 4 regular players, the Alicante center is already a success.

For 2022, the plan is to open the club which would also be the  the head office  the company. Initially planned as the first center, the second center will therefore be that of  Barcelona .

“There are several options”, signal  Teddy Puig , one of the shareholders of the company. Indeed, the exact site is not yet certain. The tracks would be Sant Cugat, Esplugues or even Sabadell, but the shareholders would wait for an opportunity to buy sports facilities, as already done in  Alicante  .

One thing is certain, the shareholders' project  Fernando Belasteguín, Teddy Puig, Marc Capdevila and Jorge Álvarez,  among others, is grandiose in Barcelona. The club will count  16 padel courts  with a restaurant and a large gym.

From Spain to the whole world

In Spain, in the short term,  White Padel Center  does not plan to open another club, because “The emphasis is on  International market,  unless an opportunity presents itself ”.

Year  2022  was also to see the birth of 3 other  White Padel Center  around the world, with clubs in  Italie  visit us at the  Mexico  and  United Arab Emirates . These projects would be “well advanced ” with local partners on a  franchise model , with the support of the Barcelona office in the management of the club.

La  Sweden  is also one of the advanced projects, with a partnership with the chain  Every Padel .

Corn (Mais)  White Padel Center  will not stop there: the objective is to become  the benchmark club in the world,  like the Argentinian champion. Discussions are underway with associates at  Portugal, France, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Denmark, Argentina, Hong Kong and the United States  !

With these many projects,  Fernando Belasteguin  ensures a bright future for his after career. Even if the retirement of  White  never seems to happen, the Argentinian has already  42 years , and if its level of play is still at the top, it will unfortunately not be eternal.
