Premier Padel was launched just over a year ago by Qatar Sports Investments (QSI), FIP, and the Professional Padel Association (PPA).

The women’s competition will take place alongside the men’s in the Premier Padel calendar, with the FIP looking to begin discussions with venue promoters to assess which venues can immediately accommodate the women’s tournament.

Luigi Carraro, president of the International Padel Federation (FIP), said: “Today is a proud and historic day for padel. Since Premier Padel was launched only a year ago, we have worked hard to have both men and women compete on this global Tour.
