La  French Tennis Federation (FFT)  continues its commitment to the development of padel with a new system:  Boost Padel This program, announced in September 2025, aims to finance the creation of  500 new tracks  thanks to a  interest-free loan repayable over ten years .

A unique system for FFT affiliated clubs

The idea is simple: to allow  affiliated association clubs  to the FFT, in partnership with their community, to bring projects to fruition  4 or more tracks  (with or without cover).

  • Le  club  submits an application and subscribes to the FFT loan.
  • La  collectivity  carries out the construction project as project owner and advances the costs related to the work (earthworks, VRD, foundations, slab).
  • Once the tracks are completed, the club operates the facilities, collects the income and repays the amount borrowed from the FFT over ten years.

This system cannot be combined with equipment assistance (formerly ADCP), but complements an already ambitious policy:  more than 500 tracks have been supported by the FFT in four years .

Why Boost? Padel ?

The observation is clear:

  • lack of padel infrastructure in association clubs,
  • increased demand from practitioners who are struggling to find slots,
  • need for padel schools and structures to host regional and national competitions.

With Boost Padel, the FFT wants  facilitate access to financing  in a difficult economic context,  support the general interest  and give clubs the means to diversify their offering.

Direct benefits for clubs

  •  Easy access to interest-free financing ,
  •  repayment over 10 years ,
  •  additional income  linked to the practice of padel,
  •  diversification  of the offer to attract new audiences (nearly 50% of padel licensees are new FFT licensees),
  • an observed increase of  +16% of licensees  on average in clubs that have developed padel.

Beyond the economic aspect, padel is seen as a  vector of conviviality and dynamism , strengthening the attractiveness of clubs.

The next steps

The FFT plans to publish by the end of September the  guide and specifications  detailing the terms of the system.
The  webinars  will also be organized to support the clubs and answer questions.
The official opening of applications is scheduled for  October 2025 .
