Doha: Premier Padel will finish its incredible inaugural season with the Milano Premier Padel P1, it was announced yesterday.
The tournament will be the final event of 2022, in a year which saw padel go premium professional and global – with unmatchable events across South America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, gracing venues including the world-famous Stade Roland Garros and Foro Italico amongst many others.
The Milano Premier Padel P1 will take place from December 5 to 11 as part of a multi-year deal with Padel Pro SSD. The Allianz Cloud will play host to the competition. The Qualifiers will take place on December 3rd and 4th at the City Padel Milano, with the main draw starting at their conclusion.
Premier Padel is the official global padel tour, governed by the International Padel Federation (FIP) and backed by the Professional Padel Association (PPA) and Qatar Sports Investments (QSI).
The announcement comes hot on the heels of the ongoing first ever Premier Padel tournament in Africa. The NEWGIZA Premier Padel P1 takes place within touching distance of the oldest of the seven wonders of the ancient world, The Great Pyramid of Giza. NEWGIZA joined Madrid, Mendoza and now Milan as hosts of P1 tournaments this season.
Luigi Carraro, President of the International Padel Federation said: “The International Padel Federation works night and day to help the sport grow across all continents, for amateur and professional players and for fans everywhere. The Milano Premier Padel P1 will follow in the steps of all Premier Padel events in providing the players with the very best playing and professional experience, while inspiring fans across Europe and all around the world.”
Nasser Al Khelaifi, Chairman of Premier Padel said: “Premier Padel is delighted to conclude the most incredible, inaugural year with the Milano Premier Padel P1. Premier Padel has revolutionised the professional sport of padel this year, elevating and game-changing every single aspect of the professional game – from venues and broadcasters to prize money, medical facilities and placing the players at the heart of every decision. No-one could have imagined this a few months ago – and this is simply the beginning.”
