With over 110 players already registered and many more expected, I am delighted with the progress we have made as we continue to carry the padel to new heights and to develop the sport around the world." President of Premier Padel Nasser Al Khelaifi, said: "When we launched Premier Padel a little over a year ago, we made the commitment to involve players in our circuit. With this historic announcement, I am very proud to say that we have achieved our ambition in just over a year since the competition's inception. Now we look forward to seeing our sport continue to thrive and grow this is just the beginning for Premier Padel".
