CARRARO “We wanted to wait until the finalization of the FIP Juniors Panamerican Padel Championships”, said FIP President Luigi Carraro, “before announcing the appointments of Padel America’s Board of Directors and the other updates related to this important and strategic new reality. The great competition held in Aguascalientes, Mexico, in addition to being a celebration of friendship, padel, and talent, once again represented the future of our sport on the American continent. And after admiring our young players on the court, it seemed perfect and in harmony to officially present the appointments and updates for Padel America, which will work with commitment and enthusiasm for these young players and this future”.

MAÑE “Padel America embodies the origin of our sport. Formalizing this continental union with the International Padel Federation is a very important step that will solidify the growth of padel and all the federations across the continent. And what better setting than the FIP Juniors Panamerican Padel Championships to enter this formality; the first of many actions in favor of the athletes from our countries.

In Padel America, we all share the intention and vision of working every day to create more and better opportunities for everyone.

The founding countries welcome Guatemala, which joins us as we continue writing a very important chapter in American padel history. Padel America is open to all American federations that want to be part of it, aiming for greater coordination among FIP member countries in the Americas and the pursuit of common goals to strengthen the sport through unity and shared vision, including a new outlook at the continental level”.
