Marbella expands its sports events calendar with a new municipal paddle tennis tournament

Marbella has expanded its sports events calendar with a new municipal padel tournament that will gather more than 200 players from June 20 to 22. Councilor Lisandro Vieytes noted that the goal is for this tournament, organized in collaboration with the Andalusian federation, "to become a key event for the large local fanbase of this sport." The councilor explained that the competition, which will be held in various men's, women's, and mixed categories, will take place at the Francisco Norte and Paco Cantos sports centers. "We want it to be a meeting point for all players and fans in the town," he valued, recalling that "our city was one of the pioneers in hosting courts and promoting the practice of this sport." Interested parties can register starting next Monday on the website of the Andalusian Padel Federation (FAD) https://fap.es/.

Vieytes, who was accompanied by the president of the FAD, José Pérez, highlighted that the tournament "in addition to being a social and fun event, will also be a high-level official competition thanks to the involvement of the federation, which will assist in managing the draws, refereeing, and equipment." The councilor, who encouraged participation in this new event, reported that a 'welcome pack' will be given to all registrants, in addition to trophies and gifts for the champions and runners-up of each category.

For his part, Pérez thanked the City Council "for its constant support of sports" and stated that the tournament "is a wonderful initiative, especially in a city like Marbella, which is considered one of the cradles of padel with an incredible fanbase." He also noted that the federation "will make its registration platforms available for players and referees, facilitating all the necessary logistics."
