Dubai Premier Padel P1 Tournament To Be Held In November With Top Players Competing

The Dubai Premier Padel P1 tournament has initiated the first phase of ticket sales for its inaugural event. Organisers have outlined an economic and community-driven vision aimed at establishing a lasting legacy for both Dubai and the sport's growth regionally and internationally.

Following a multi-year hosting agreement between the UAE Padel Association (UAEPA), the Department of Economy and Tourism (DET), Dubai Sports Council (DSC), Premier Padel, and Dubai-based Gallop Global, the emirate will host its first event of the world’s only official professional padel tour from 3-10 November. The matches will take place on six purpose-built courts at Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium.

Sheikh Saeed bin Maktoum Bin Juma Al Maktoum, President of the UAEPA, stated, "The launch of the Dubai Premier Padel P1 is a historic milestone for the sport, which has rapidly become popular in the UAE. It is testament to our commitment to nurturing the growth of this sport in this vibrant emirate and perfectly aligns with Dubai Economic Agenda D33’s vision to establish the city as a global hub for premier sporting events and the world’s leading city to live, work and visit. We are pleased to be at the forefront of this movement by working closely with our strategic partners, including the Department of Economy and Tourism, to ensure the legacy of padel in Dubai extends far beyond the court."

The Dubai Premier Padel P1 is part of a 25-tournament season that spans 18 countries across five continents. With the world’s best players required to compete in P1 events, notable participants include Arturo Coello, Ariana Sanchez Fallada, Juan Lebron, Alejandro Galan, Agustin Tapia, Franco Stupaczuk, Beatriz Gonzalez, and Delfina Brea. The tournament will feature separate formats for male and female pairings.

The total prize pool for both categories stands at AED1.89 million (€470,000 euros). This significant prize fund underscores the tournament's importance within the global padel calendar and highlights Dubai's commitment to hosting high-calibre sporting events.
