New format, new name and a new horizon for the European national federations. The International Padel Federation (FIP) announces the birth of the FIP Euro Padel Cup, a continental team competition that picks up the legacy of the European Padel Championships, as part of a development project born from the need to adapt the format of the competition to the great request for participation from European countries.
With the FIP Euro Padel Cup and thanks to the cooperation of the national federations and Padel Europe, the International Padel Federation aims to involve more and more nations in light of the extraordinary growth of padel in the world -and in Europe in particular- with the aim of giving more and more athletes the opportunity to measure themselves at an international competitive level, wearing the jersey of their national team.
“The FIP Euro Padel Cup is a sign of the exceptional growth of Padel and the answer to a need that is the result of the planning of the last few years. We have always said that the goal was to progressively widen the perimeter of passion and involvement, working on a sport that today is considered a global phenomenon. Thanks to teamwork with the National Federations, we have recorded the growth of padel in an increasing number of countries, the rise of the technical level, and the consequent greater demand for participation in major continental events. From here, the unavoidable need to redesign the competitions, starting with the European Championships, on the occasion of the 14th edition. The national team’s jersey is pure magic for the players, and this FIP Euro Padel Cup will make history in our sport,” underlines FIP president Luigi Carraro.
New format
In the 2025 edition, 40 national teams will participate in the men’s tournament and 40 national teams in the women’s tournament. The competition will be divided into three phases, with the first two taking place from July 7 to 13 at the same venue. In the first phase (from July 1 to 4), the national teams with the lowest rankings will compete for four places in the second phase. In the second phase (from July 5 to 7), the national teams ranked 5th to 16th in Europe will join the competition, fighting for a place in the final phase. In this phase, the four teams from the second phase will face Spain, Italy, Portugal, and France, the top four national teams in the European ranking. These eight national teams will be divided into two groups of four, with the four semifinalists emerging from these groups.
A new format, that of the FIP Euro Padel Cup, conceived in a strategy of greater participation and sustainability by virtue of the great request from FIP member countries, always in the light of increasing competitiveness and the show to be offered to the public.
