Message from President
Dear friends, fans and well wishers of Padel,
I am so excited to bring the sport of the millennium century to my country!
When I saw the first game of Padel in Madrid in 2014, I was intrigued. But when I played it, I was sold! Padel is currently the second largest participation sport in Spain (first being football), with a following of more than 30 million players across the world. The Padel phenomenon is so huge that sport psychologists call it the “growth monster of the decade”!
As a non-profit organization, it had taken us almost a decades worth of continuous efforts to see the sport progressively gaining momentum and popularity across India. We aim to be recognised by the Federación Internacional de Pádel, the world governing body for Padel.
IPF’s and my personal mission for 2025 and beyond, is to showcase Padel in its true spirit- a social and inclusive sport that is sustainable as a sport and as a business opportunity. Our dream is to send a powerful team to represent India in international tournaments. We are in the process of setting up state associations, tournaments and club affiliations to make Padel available to everyone.
As I nurture Padel in India, from its infancy, I hope you will support me in my mission.
Wish you health and joy while you get addicted to Padel!
