Playtomic Global Padel Report – Part 3 – Olympic Path

While padel is aligning well with Olympic values, such as gender equality, ethical standards, and growing international reach, its path to inclusion is hindered by the fact that only Spain and Argentina currently play the sport at a truly elite level.

Nonetheless, the FIP’s (The International Padel Federation) active efforts to globalize padel through youth programs, partnerships, and expanded tournaments show strong intent to close this competitive gap. Olympic inclusion would bring major benefits, including increased funding, visibility, and support.
