Yasmian Events is organising its first VIP Padel event for ladies.

The game of padel is a sport that combines the best elements of tennis and squash. A padel court is smaller than a tennis court. 

It is one of the most popular sports in the world, especially in Spain. The sport has a great turnout in the Qatari society and the female component. 

To provide the highest level of organisation of the event, the organisers have invited top sponsors to support the competition. Ooredoo, Marsa Malaz Kempinski, Maserati, Sports Corner and Blue Salon are among the sponsors of the tournament.
