Spanish tennis legend Rafael Nadal is investing in Playtomic, the largest racquet sports community in the world. The financial terms were not disclosed.
Playtomic is a booking app for padel and tennis courts that is active in more than 50 countries and operates with more than 4,800 clubs worldwide. Founded in 2011, the company is headquartered in Madrid.
Racquet-sport app Playtomic has raised €5.1 million from 4,600 investors in what appears to be a record crowdfunding round for a sports app.
In Europe, growth appears to have been strongest in France, whose court total increased by 1,272 during 2024, the Global Padel Report for 2025 said.
The fundraising will primarily fuel US expansion and product development.
