Download Press Release

A popularity that knows no bounds, between chasing records and the approval of the general public. And it is no coincidence that a record number of countries – 30 for the men’s, 21 for the women’s – have officially pre-registered for the thirteenth edition of the FIP European Padel Championships, scheduled to take place in Cagliari, Sardinia, from 22 to 27 July 2024. This is a remarkable figure, which confirms the unstoppable growth of this sport and the feverish anticipation for a constantly expanding international team event, which this year will be hosted in Italy and organised by FIP (International Padel Federation) and FITP (Italian Tennis and Padel Federation), and which returns to a Region that, after the international events of recent years, is increasingly confirmed as the ‘Island of Padel‘.

 

It will therefore be a record-breaking European event, with the high number of applications confirming the effectiveness of the synergy and teamwork between FIP and national federations for the spread and growth of padel. In the previous edition of the event (2021) in Marbella, Spain, 29 teams had participated, 16 men’s and 13 women’s, compared to the 51 that will take the field in Cagliari. A trend that, among other things, underlines the increase – already highlighted by the FIP Seniors World Padel Championships 2024 – in the number of participating countries at women’s level.

 

Once registrations are confirmed, FIP will organise a qualification phase if there are – as it’s likely – more than 16 national teams in the starting line-up for the FIP European Padel Championships 2024, with the top ten nations in the ranking admitted directly to the final phase. The remaining six will come out from the qualifying round.

 

Once the 16 participating nations have been determined, FIP European Padel Championships for national teams will begin with a group stage and four groups of four countries each: the top two countries in each group will earn the right to compete for positions 1 to 8, the countries ranked third and fourth in the group stage will compete for positions 9 to 16. Each national team will consist of a minimum of six and a maximum of eight players, both in the men’s and women’s competition.

 

Appointment therefore in Cagliari, the fourth Italian city to host the FIP European Padel Championships after Lido di Savio (1995, inaugural edition), Bologna (2005) and Rome (2019).
