The Pakistan Padel Federation (PPF) has officially announced the National Padel Championship, set to be held from April 11 to 13 at Padelverse. This major event marks a significant milestone in the promotion and growth of padel in Pakistan and will feature three competitive categories: Men’s, Women’s, and Mixed Doubles.
Organized under the banner of the International Padel Federation and Padel-Asia, and in partnership with Padelverse and Play Pro, the championship promises to showcase top-tier talent and provide a platform for Pakistani players to make their mark on the regional and global padel scene.
In a move to encourage widespread participation and increase accessibility to the sport, the PPF is offering a National Padel License free of cost to all participants. This initiative is part of the federation’s broader strategy to expand the sport’s reach and engage more athletes across the country.
The championship is not just about competition; it also aims to lay the foundation for a national ranking system, with all results being published on the official PPF website. This ranking system will serve as a transparent and structured way to evaluate player performance and will play a critical role in future selections and events.
A significant incentive for participants is the PKR 1 million cash prize pool, which will be distributed among the winners, first runners-up, and second runners-up across all three categories. The substantial prize money underscores the PPF’s commitment to elevating padel as a professional and competitive sport in Pakistan.
Beyond national recognition and cash prizes, the championship will serve as a talent identification platform. A dedicated selection committee will assess performances during the tournament to shortlist players for the Pakistan national padel team. These selected athletes will represent the country at the Asian Padel Championship, scheduled to take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in October this year.
The PPF’s initiative reflects the growing popularity of padel worldwide and its rising momentum in Pakistan. By offering free licenses, attractive prize money, and a clear path to international competition, the federation is laying the groundwork for a vibrant padel community in the country.
Speaking about the event, PPF officials expressed confidence in the championship’s success and its role in identifying and nurturing new talent. The collaboration with global bodies like the International Padel Federation and Padel-Asia further strengthens the event’s credibility and positions Pakistan as an emerging hub for padel in the region.
With the National Padel Championship just weeks away, excitement is building among players and fans alike. Registrations are expected to rise rapidly as athletes prepare to compete for glory, rankings, and a chance to wear national colors on the international stage.
