The second edition of Padelness, a B2B and B2C event on padel and fitness, will take place at Mostra d’Oltremare in Naples on November 21-23, 2025. The event was officially presented on October 1 by the Mayor of Naples, Gaetano Manfredi, together with other representatives of local authorities, the creators and organizers of the show, Marianna Perruno and Massimiliano Esofaco, and the President of Mostra d’Oltremare, Remo Minopoli.
Padelness is organized by Eventi in Mostra, with the patronage of the Campania Region, the Municipality of Naples, CONI Campania, Sport e Salute, University of Naples Parthenope, the Italian Press Federation (FNSI), USSI Campania, SUGC Union of Journalists Campania, and CIWAS.
Padelness is part of a wider schedule of sport-related events that Naples is set to host in the coming years. Naples has been formally designated as the European Capital of Sport for the year 2026. Furthermore, Naples will host the 38th American Cup, the world’s oldest international sports trophy, in 2027.
The second and expanded edition of Padelness will occupy four exhibition halls, up from three (padel, pickleball, fitness & wellness) last year, due to the addition of a fourth pavilion dedicated to competitions. This year’s show will also feature two spin-off events: “Parthenope Silent Fitness” on October 9, and “USB Streetworkout” on October 11, along with other side events, networking opportunities and competitions.
The inaugural edition of Padelness, which took place at Mostra d’Oltremare in Naples on Nov. 22-24, 2024, hosted 105 exhibitors and attracted 10,000 visitors.
