France will have a National Equipment Center dedicated to padel. It's official. The site will consist of 14 padel courts and will be located on the island of Puteaux, a space already dedicated to tennis in particular and which will therefore be completely modernized.

It is a huge opportunity for France to be able to offer this unique padel CNE in Europe and even in the world. No federation today offers a national padel training center for its elites with as much space, as much infrastructure and as modern.

A "exceptional site with an area of ​​11 hectares". The executive committee of the FFT will however have to approve the contract of Delegation of Public Service planned for next December. But this is more of a formality.

Hubert Picquier, the elected official in charge of padel for the FFT, also explained to us that “The CNE padel will aim to keep our best French players in France and offer them the best to enable them to develop in France and on the international scene.".

Our best French players are lucky and can say thank you to this huge gift and the FFT relies on them "to return to the fold“, even if it is not so simple for French players expatriated in Spain because the professional padel circuit takes place mainly on Spanish soil.

The other good news for padel-loving Parisians is the possibility of enjoying this site. Indeed, unlike the CNE Tennis where not everyone can access it, the CNE Padel will be open to the outdoors and will operate almost like a padel club.

The Paris region is thus acquiring a new major padel club in the Paris region following the confirmation of the Asnières-sur-Seine padel club planned “a priori” for the first half of 1.

Who said that padel is not growing? 😉
