Barranquilla to host Kia Open W125 women's tennis tournament
Barranquilla will host the Kia Open W125 in September 2026, marking the return of the professional women's tennis circuit to the city. The WTA-endorsed tournament will be held at the Complejo Distrital de Raquetas on hard courts from September 6 to September 12.
The event is expected to feature ten players from the global Top 100 and representatives from 16 different countries. Colombian player Emiliana Arango, currently ranked 97th in the world, is highlighted as a key local competitor.
The tournament offers 125 WTA ranking points and a prize pool of 125,000 dollars. Its timing, close to the US Open in New York, may attract players eliminated in the early rounds of the Grand Slam.
