Club Med launches international amateur padel tournament

Club Med has launched the inaugural Club Med Padel Tour, an international competition specifically designed for amateur players, regardless of whether they hold a license. The tournament will feature regional stages across eight countries, including France, Belgium, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Spain, and Israel.

In France, eleven stages are scheduled between October 2026 and January 2027, covering cities such as Paris, Rennes, Toulouse, Marseille, Nice, Bordeaux, Lyon, Strasbourg, Lille, Montpellier, and Vélizy. The competition includes both men’s and women’s categories, with a unique rule requiring the combined age of the two players in a team to be at least 60 years.

The tournament will culminate in an international final in March 2027 at the Club Med Magna Marbella in Spain. Winners of the regional stages will compete for the title, with grand prize winners receiving an all-inclusive stay for two at a Club Med resort. The event is organized in collaboration with Padel + Agency to expand the brand's presence in the sport, which is already offered at 17 Club Med resorts worldwide.
