The organizers of the international Premier Padel series have extended hosting rights agreements with top-tier events in Italy, France, and Qatar.
Those tournaments, taking place in Rome, Paris, and Doha, respectively, have all now extended their rights to host Premier Padel in multi-year tie-ups, also struck with the International Padel Federation (FIP).

These renewals were announced earlier today, as part of a larger bundle of tie-ups, which also includes the appointment of the Octagon Spain agency to manage all Premier Padel events in that country until 2032.
In addition, the series has said that "strong progress" has been made in terms of the Hexagon Cup, with that tournament "advancing towards official FIP recognition."
A strategic partnership between Premier Padel and the annual Hexagon Cup was first disclosed in February, aimed at growing the sport's overall global profile. The idea is that the Hexagon Cup eventually expands beyond its single annual Madrid tournament, into an international multi-event series across various new and emerging markets.
Finally, it has been announced that an FIP Intercontinental Cup will take place in 2026, moving back a year from its original planned date, and that a Junior World Cup will be held between September 29 and October 4 in Spain.

These milestones reflect not only the continued rise of our sport, but also the deepening strength, stability and growth of the professional tour.”
