Chilean players are preparing for the two big challenges of the year despite the pandemic. Claudio Santibanez, one of the players, talks about the high goals of the team.
Great ambitions
Padel is booming in Chili. And today there is even a Chilean selection that is training despite Covid. In fact, it will participate from this August 25, 2021, in the Pan American Padel Championships that are taking place in Mexico.
With the objective, according to Santibanez, of finishing in the top 3. No easy feat when you know the level of padel in South America!

A competition that also aims to prepare for the padel world championship that will take place in November in Qatar, where Chile dreams of a 5th place. Here again, the fight promises to be fierce!
The difficulties of padel in Chile
As in many countries, the coronavirus is a real scourge for padel, and the national team has been greatly affected.
It was difficult for the Chileans to regroup and train together to properly prepare for these major international events. A truncated preparation and different from other years.
Fierce competitors, the Chileans are counting on their determination and their famous “grinta” to overcome this lack of training!
