FIP announces the birth of ‘Padel America’. Carraro: “Harmony and Future are the inspiring pillars of this new reality”
August 8, 2024A new reality within FIP in the name of sharing objectives and strengthening padel in the world. It is with this idea that, at the end of a meeting in the presence of the president of the International Padel Federation, Luigi Carraro, the heads of the federations of FIP member countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Canada, Mexico, United States and Paraguay decided to proceed with the constitution of ‘Padel America’.
The new continental reality comes just a few days after the creation of Padel Europe – during the FIP European Padel Championships – and will be based in Mexico.
CARRARO “I am particularly happy and I want to thank the American member countries of FIP for making this initiative possible”, said FIP President Luigi Carraro. “In the same spirit with which ‘Padel Europe’ was born a few days ago, ‘Padel America’ is born, in the name of the same shared objectives and identical tuning already highlighted at the General Assembly in Asuncion in Paraguay, during which the future key points of our sport were unanimously accepted and approved. The birth of ‘Padel America’ represents further proof of team spirit and unity within FIP, of the confidence in every initiative undertaken by the International Padel Federation itself and, at the same time, offers a new organizational reading at continental level, always with an eye to the development and spread of padel”.
At the end of the meeting that sanctioned the birth of ‘Padel America’, the representatives of the countries that proceeded to the constitution of the new reality stated: “Padel America is born and is open to all those American federations that wish to be part of it, in the perspective of a greater coordination between the American FIP affiliated federations, with effective participation of all members in the pursuit of the same goal, that is, an organic and increasingly widespread strengthening of our sport in all countries of the world, also through a new vision at continental level”.
