PadelSport Global is an independent information and community initiative. We want the joy and connecting power of padel to serve wider social participation.
PadelSport Global connects the game with development, dialogue, equality and peace. Sport and human-centred principles have equal standing.

PADELSPORT GLOBAL · PEOPLE AND OPPORTUNITIES
PadelSport Global is being built to help more communities find recognition, opportunity and support through the joy of sport. Discover why we are connecting the world.
Shared principles
Our independent initiative is guided by health, education, inclusion, equality, sustainability and peaceful dialogue.
FIP is the world governing body of padel. Our network is not a sports federation, does not set official competition rules or rankings, and does not seek to take over the authority of FIP or national federations. Through information, we aim to help people discover the sport and become interested in taking part. We direct visitors to federation sources for official sporting information.
FIP · Official introduction ↗We want padel to become an accessible community sport that more people can discover. We also value the aspiration to include padel in the Olympic Games, which FIP states among its own goals. This is our aspiration in principle: we claim no official Olympic role, mandate or guaranteed inclusion.
FIP · Strategic goals ↗We want to talk about more than results and competitions: how sport can contribute to health, education, equal opportunity and social inclusion. We intend to give particular attention to less visible places and communities facing barriers to participation. Through sport, we aim to create connections and opportunities for cooperation; we present delivered social outcomes only after verifiable implementation.
UN · Sport for development and peace ↗Local discovery, tourism and future services can also support the network’s sustainable operation. Revenue is not an end in itself: human dignity, inclusion and responsible operation guide our social direction. Specific commitments and results will be described when established and verifiably delivered.
This page presents PadelSport Global’s own goals. Links to the official FIP and UN websites are provided for information; they do not imply a mandate, institutional representation or endorsement. Any future cooperation will be described only after it exists and its terms have been agreed.
