Carraro: “Governing the new world padel circuit will be a huge and big responsibility”

After the formalisation of the historic agreement with which Qatar Sports Investments (QSI), together with the International Padel Federation (FIP) and the Professional Padel Association, founder of Premier Padel, and Damm, owner of Setpoint Events announced the acquisition of the World Padel Tour (WPT) by QSI, Luigi Carraro, president of the international federation that will have the task of governing the new and unique Premier Padel world circuit from 2024, issued the following statement outlining the commitment and responsibility that awaits the FIP, which is already involved in the “race” for the recognition of padel at the Olympic.

“The FIP will have a huge and a big responsibility in governing, from 2024, the unified Premier Padel circuit that is born from the merger of the latter with World Padel Tour, but we have worked for this historic moment in recent years and will continue to do so for the growth of our sport – said Carraro –. On the other hand, over the years, from the success of our sport at the European Games, a success recognised by the heads of the European Olympic Committees, to the success of the Cupra FIP and Premier Padel circuits around the world, our work in collaboration with the national federations of the FIP family has produced results that were unthinkable until a while ago”.
