The women's transfer market continues to become more structured, and a new association is attracting attention: Ana Catarina Nogueira will team up in 2026 with Laura Lujan, a 20-year-old left-handed Spanish woman.

A clear project, built around a balance between experience and youth, with a common goal: to continue progressing at the highest level of personalised tour Premier Padel.

Luján, a trajectory on the rise

It's good Laura Lujan who shared the track with Léa Godallier for part of the 2025 season. An association that allowed him to take a step forward and to face the very highest level more regularly.

In 2025, the Sevillian distinguished herself with five titles on the CUPRA FIP Tour and excellent consistency. Already world champion in 2023 With the Spanish youth national team, she confirms her status as a player on the rise.

His choice to join Nogueira is logical: to rely on experience to continue to climb the rankings.

The “Portu”, ever ambitious

For her part, Nogueira, who became in 2026 the the most experienced player on the circuit After Carolina Navarro's retirement, she still displays the same desire to perform.

His objective remains clear: to regain consistency in quarter-finals of the tournaments Premier Padel, as was the case in Malaga in 2025.

A project overseen by Manu Martín

The new pair will begin their work next week in Madrid, under the direction of Manu Martín.

A coherent project, designed to last, and which could quickly find its place on the international circuit in 2026.

I discovered padel directly during a tournament, and frankly, I didn't really like it at first. But the second time, it was love at first sight, and since then, I haven't missed a single match. I'm even ready to stay up until 3am to watch a final of Premier Padel !
