2024 is shaping up to be a year of major developments for padel<\/strong>, with the launch of a unified world tour that promises to take the sport to new heights of excellence and popularity. After lengthy negotiations, Premier Padel and the World Padel Tour<\/strong>\u2014which until last year were two separate circuits\u2014have reached an agreement and decided to merge to create a single, major official professional padel circuit<\/strong>, Premier Padel, governedby the International Padel Federation<\/strong>. <\/p>\nThe merger will bring several benefits, both for players and fans, thanks in part to the creation of a unified calendar<\/strong>, which will make it easier for all the world\u2019s top players to participate. The new tour will feature 25 tournaments in 18 countries<\/strong>, distributed evenly across the continents. But this won\u2019t be the only change: in addition to the Premier Padel, there will also be a new circuit,the Ultimate Padel Tour<\/strong>, launched with the support of investors from the Damm Group. This circuit<\/strong> is the leading professional circuit in Spain<\/strong> and aims to expand its presence throughout Europe as well. <\/p>\n Let’s take a look together at all the latest news from the 2024 Premier Padel and the Ultimate Padel Tour<\/strong>!<\/p>\n Since its debut in 2022, Premier Padel has quickly captured global attention<\/strong>, establishing itself as one of the fastest-growing sports circuits. During its first year of operation, the tournament attracted more than 500 players<\/strong>, immediately demonstrating its potential to draw top-level talent. In 2023, the circuit\u2019s success was further solidified by the participation of over 110 professional female players<\/strong>. In recent years, Premier Padel\u2019s global reach has become evident, with broadcast agreements reaching over 180 countries worldwide<\/strong> and millions of views on YouTube, making this sport increasingly popular and appreciated globally. <\/p>\n The 2024 Premier Padel<\/strong> season promises to introduce a series of exciting new features that will have a significant impact on the world of padel. The new schedule consists of 25 tournaments<\/strong>: a substantial number that ensures continuity in the sporting spectacle without, however, putting a strain on the players\u2019 endurance and physical condition. The model for the new Premier Padel circuit is similar to thatof the ATP<\/strong> (Association of Tennis Professionals) and calls for an equitable distribution of tournaments, which will be held in 18 countries across five continents<\/strong> throughout the year (three of which will take place in Italy). <\/p>\n The new schedule aims to further boost the popularity of padel<\/strong> in countries such as Spain and Latin America, but it will also open up new opportunities and possibilities in Europe, the Middle East, North America, and Asia<\/strong>. The goal is to involve players from different countries, taking padel to a global level and expanding the base of fans and players worldwide. <\/p>\n Among the new developments for 2024, the introduction of new rules and game formats stands out, designed to make matches more exciting and accessible to a wider audience. There are also plans to enhance marketing and promotional strategies<\/strong>, with the goal of attracting new sponsors and increasing public interest, as well as adopting advanced technologies to improve the viewing experience<\/strong> for both those attending games in person and those watching from home. <\/p>\n In August, after completing more than half of the events on the schedule (14 out of 25), the tour will take a 28-day summer break, before resuming on September 2 in Madrid<\/strong>. The season will then continue in Europe and the Middle East, with new Premier Padel stops in Rotterdam, D\u00fcsseldorf, Sweden, Dubai, and Kuwait City. In October, the P1<\/strong> tournament in New Giza<\/strong>, Egypt\u2014which was suspended last year due to the conflict between Israel and Palestine\u2014will take place once again. Below is a list of all the dates and venues for the official 2024 calendar<\/strong>, which can also be found on the Premier Padel<\/a> website:<\/p>\n The Ultimate Padel Tour (UPT), the new Spanish padel circuit<\/strong>, was launched by a group of investors from the Damm Group (which also promoted the former World Padel Tour) as an alternative to Premier Padel, with the goal of consolidating and promoting professional padel in Spain. The tour presents a unique opportunity not only for professional male and female padel players but also for amateurs, who will have the chance to compete in high-level tournaments. <\/p>\n With 90% of its tournaments taking place in Spain<\/strong>, the Ultimate Padel Tour aims to become a true benchmark at both the national and European levels. UPT tournaments feature 48 pairs<\/strong>, 8 of whom advance from the qualifying rounds. The Master Final is reserved for the top eight pairs of the year, with an additional bonus<\/strong> awarded to the top 20 in the final standings<\/strong> and incentives for players under 21.
