D-6 before the start of the 2024 European Championships which will take place in Cagliari (Sardinia) from July 22 to 27.

With less than a week to go before the start, we took an interest in the nations present and, more precisely, in the countries which will be favorites in this tournament.

The best men's nations

Even without his big names, Spain is by far the favorite nation of these European Championships, ahead of Italy and France. As we can see from the weight of the teams, Spain is well ahead of the host country and the French delegation.

We will also have to keep an eye on Sweden, Belgium and of course, Portugal who had to go through the qualifying phases in Oslo last June.

Concerning France, we can, of course, hope for a good result in these Europeans.

The best women's nations

Among the women, Spain is once again the big favorite in this competition. However, we will have to be wary of Portugal. The top seed who falls against Portugal in their group will inherit an unfavorable draw.

France, however, points to 3rd place in the ranking of these European championships. Consequently, the French delegation has real assets in this competition.

So, which country will be your favorite?

Gwenaelle Souyri

It was his brother who one day told him to accompany him on a track. padel, since then, Gwenaëlle has never left the court. Except when it comes to going to watch the broadcast of Padel Magazine, World Padel Tour… or Premier Padel…or the French Championships. In short, she is a fan of this sport.
