Olympia will today be confirmed as the host venue for the Premier Padel Tour, as it heads to London for the first time this year.<\/p>\n
City AM revealed<\/a> in December that the Kensington site was the front runner to host the tournament, which has the support of the Lawn Tennis Association.<\/p>\n The event \u2013 known as London Premier Padel P1 \u2013 will form part of the Qatar Airways Premier Padel Tour<\/a> as the sport seeks inclusion in the 2032 Brisbane Olympic Games, and will take place at Olympia\u2019s heritage halls, following the major \u00a31.3bn transformation.<\/p>\n Arturo Coello, the top ranked male player, said: \u201cPremier Padel arriving in London is incredibly exciting. The energy of the city, combined with such an iconic setting, is going to make it a really special week.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ve seen how quickly padel is growing in the UK, so I\u2019m sure the fans will create an unforgettable atmosphere.\u201d<\/p>\n \t\tPadel at Olympia<\/p>\n Padel has experienced a boom in popularity across the UK, with over 1,000 courts now accessible to players.<\/p>\n The likes of Queen\u2019s Club have adopted padel courts, while they are becoming a staple across Britain\u2019s sporting infrastructure. Britain also boasts six of the world\u2019s top 10 revenue generating clubs.<\/p>\n Stewart Hosford, chief of backers Sela International, said: \u201cAnnouncing Olympia as the host venue and opening ticket sales marks a hugely exciting step in bringing London Premier Padel P1 to life.<\/p>\n \u201cOlympia\u2019s \u00a31.3bn transformation provides an incredible stage for the world\u2019s best players to play in the UK for the first time. We can\u2019t wait to deliver an unforgettable experience that introduces even more fans to the energy and passion of padel.\u201d<\/p>\n It comes after data from racquet sports booking app Playtomic<\/a> last year showed the UK to be the sport\u2019s third biggest market, behind only Spain and Italy.<\/p>\n The event will take place between 4 and 9 August.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\tRead more<\/p>\n
