The inaugural Dubai Padel Cup – a headline event of this year’s Dubai Fitness Challenge – kicks into public competition mode this weekend, with women from across the nation set to collide in a three-day League competition for female amateur players.
Running 11 – 13 November, the League competition will see ladies-only doubles teams of C and C+ ability contest a series of knockout matches at Just Padel at Mina Rashid.
“A central pillar of our year one mission was to deliver a series of public programmes to increase grassroots participation in the sport,” said Ahmed Hamada, Co-Founder Dubai Padel Cup. “While the professional exhibition matches leveraged the world’s best players to deliver high-profile awareness of the sport, the city, and the event in general, our inclusion in the Dubai Fitness Challenge aims to grow public participation in the sport; we want to make padel tennis Dubai’s number one recreational sport.”
Following this weekend’s female-only League competition, male players of C and C+ ability will contest their own Leagues at Zabeel Sports District and Padel Point Ras Al Khor, respectively, between 17 – 20 November. Registration for a dedicated Tournament for male players of A and B ability, which will be held from 21 – 27 at Dubai World Padel Academy in Dubai, closes on 17 November.
Elsewhere, the Dubai Padel Cup has partnered with more than 10 padel clubs to offer free clinics that aid the Dubai public’s 30×30 aspirations.
