🎾 WHAT IS PADEL?
Padel is a racket sport that combines elements of
tennis and squash. Played in doubles on an enclosed
court, it’s fast, tactical and incredibly addictive.
Originally popular in Spain and Latin America, padel
has exploded globally — with over 25 million players
across 90+ countries as of 2026.
Why is padel so popular?
– Easy to learn, hard to master
– Social and fun — always played in doubles
