Italy: Padel to replace football pitches!

Le development of padel in Italy is not an invention or a mere figment of the imagination! On the contrary, it has become more and more popular since the start of the pandemic. Better: in Steps, the municipality of Falconara decided to favor the creation of 4 new pitches at the expense of sacrosanct football.

4 courts to revitalize the space

In Falconara, the old football field near the church has been in trouble for several years, especially because of bad weather and flooding. The green of the lawn will not regain its former glow and not only because of the mud. At the instigation of a citizen who modestly preferred to remain anonymous, a file arrived on the town hall office for recompose space left fallow for too long. At the heart of this redevelopment: 4 padel courts intended for revitalize sports practice from the city.

Conditional for the moment

Although in its infancy, the basic idea won a great success. Private investors would also be in charge of bringing this innovative project out of the ground, which should revive an abandoned place. This new installation would therefore consist of the construction of 4 brand new pitches with adjoining changing roomsThis complex would make it possible to offer a new sporting offer to residents, knowing that padel meets current health requirements and therefore allows people to get some fresh air in complete safety.

Since the summer of 2020, demand has been growing and this perspective is significant for the place of padel in Italy. However, this project remains conditional since the economic aspects have not yet been established and validated by the municipality. However, given the prospects that these sites could have on the shops from the coastal city, it is a safe bet that padel will increase its popularity on the banks of theAdriatic !
