Sanctioned Padel Tournaments

You’ve already played a few padel matches and the excitement of competition is growing… It’s time to sign up for your first tournament.

Tournaments come with rankings and, most importantly, tournament categories. These categories are designed to ensure fair and balanced competitions:

P25 and P100: for intermediate players (Level 2/3/4/5)
P250 and P500: for advanced players (Level 5/6/7)
P1000, P1500, and P2000: for expert players (Level 7 & above)

The number following the “P” represents the points that the winners receive for finishing in 1st place. Other participants will earn points based on their position. These points help you climb the rankings and qualify for higher-level tournaments.

Important: A Padel or Multi-Racket FFT license is required.
