Dubai Premier Padel P1, part of the newly unified 25-tournament season spanning 18 countries across five continents, will take place from 3rd to 10th November, under the patronage of H.H. Sheikh Mansoor bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Chairman of Dubai Sports Council.
The tournament will be hosted at Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium and will showcase the world’s top players. Organized by Gallop Global, it will feature 256 players competing in separate categories for male and female pairs. The total prize pool for both categories amounts to 470,000 euros (AED 1.89M).
Dubai Premier Padel P1 marks its debut in Dubai, following a multi-year hosting agreement involving the UAE Padel Association (UAEPA), the Department of Economy and Tourism (DET), Dubai Sports Council (DSC), Premier Padel, and Gallop Global, all based in Dubai.
Sheikh Saeed bin Maktoum bin Juma Al Maktoum, President of the UAEPA, commented, “The inaugural Dubai Premier Padel P1 enjoys significant backing from His Highness Sheikh Mansoor, which will greatly inspire future events in the country. Since padel’s introduction to the UAE in 2013, the country’s leadership has consistently supported padel and other sporting events.”
Saeed Mohammed Hareb, Secretary-General of the Dubai Sports Council, remarked, “We have witnessed substantial growth of padel in the UAE, particularly in Dubai, with an increasing number of players, courts, and international tournaments featuring top-ranked players worldwide. This progress reflects the diligent efforts of the UAE Padel Federation, led by Sheikh Saeed bin Maktoum bin Juma Al Maktoum, and underscores our commitment to promote padel and its numerous benefits.
