Padel-Point, a brand of Tennis-Point GmbH, a Signa Sports United company, has launched the Cupra Padel-Point Tour, France 2022. The first event of its kind in France, consisting of eleven tournaments across the country from April to September, is designed to create a world-class amateur padel tournament in France and eventually become a pan-European event.
Club Casa Padel in Paris will host the preliminary round matches on April 22 and 23. The finals will be held Sept. 16-18 at Les Pyramides, the largest private padel facility in Paris. The tournament will also feature padel lessons for visitors led by professional players and experienced coaches, live product testing on the courts and entertainment, including professional exhibition matches.
Christian Miele, founder and CEO of Tennis-Point, said, “Padel is regarded as the fastest growing sport in the world, played by 18 million people around the globe and counting. We are excited to help increase participation in France by creating a unique event where amateur players get to experience a professional tournament environment. We hope to see a big padel community emerge in France following the tournament.”
The Cupra automotive brand, a subsidiary of Spanish car manufacturer Seat, has been supporting the professional padel circuit since 2019, not least as the main sponsor of the International Padel Federation (IPF).
Headquartered in Germany, Padel-Point currently operates six online stores in Germany, Spain, Italy, France, Sweden and internationally as well as the German-language padel platform padel-point.de.
