Premier Padel match at the Foro Italico
Premier Padel stars return to the Foro Italico, June 8–15, 2025
Sport, spectacle, and entertainment return to the Eternal City as the BNL Italy Major Premier Padel takes center stage once again, from June 8 to 15, 2025. For the fourth consecutive year, Rome’s iconic Foro Italico will become the beating heart of one of the most anticipated events on the Premier Padel tour, ready to deliver unforgettable thrills to an ever-growing fan base.
Launched in 2022 under the aegis of the International Padel Federation (FIP), with the support of the Professional Padel Association (PPA) and Qatar Sports Investments (QSI), the Rome Major is one of four flagship tournaments on the global calendar, alongside Doha, Paris, and Acapulco — a prestigious quartet for a sport in rapid ascent.
Since its debut, the Italian Major has earned a reputation for flawless organization, a vibrant atmosphere, and an enthusiastic crowd. On court, the world’s top padel players; in the stands, thousands of fans and newcomers alike who, year after year, have turned the event into a true celebration of the sport. As was the case in 2023, the 2025 edition will once again feature a women’s draw, underscoring Premier Padel’s strong commitment to gender equity and the shared growth of both tours.
Over the years, Italian fans have had the chance to witness up close some of the biggest names in the men’s game: Alejandro Galán, Juan Lebrón, Arturo Coello and Agustín Tapia — undisputed stars of the international scene. On the women’s side, the spotlight has shone on the likes of Ari Sánchez, Paula Josemaría, and Bea González, dominant forces on tour and true icons of the sport. But the Foro Italico has also proven to be a launchpad for the next generation, giving space to emerging talents like Spain’s Javi Garrido or Argentina’s Delfi Brea, who are already making their mark at the highest level.
Padel was born almost by accident in 1969, in Puerto de Acapulco, Mexico, when businessman Enrique Corcuera set out to build a tennis court in the garden of his villa. The space, however, was too tight and bordered by walls — so Corcuera adapted the layout, reducing the dimensions and enclosing the court with concrete walls on the sides and back. Unknowingly, he had created a new sport, which he initially named Paddle-Tenis.
In 1974, Spanish aristocrat Alfonso de Hohenlohe, intrigued by the game during a visit to Corcuera’s home, introduced it to Europe by building the first two courts at the Marbella Club Hotel, a hotspot for royalty, actors, and international jet-setters. There, padel began to spread among the elite, helped by high-profile supporters like Prince Albert of Monaco and tennis legend Manuel Santana.
The sport truly exploded in Argentina in the late 1970s. By the 1980s, padel had become a national craze, with over 10,000 courts built across the country, which soon emerged as one of the world’s leading talent factories. To this day, many of the top players in the world hail from Argentina.
In the early 2000s, padel gained a foothold in Europe, with Spain leading the charge. Today, it ranks as the second most played sport in the country, trailing only football. From there, its popularity quickly spread across the continent, triggering a boom in Italy, where the number of courts tripled between 2020 and 2023. The reasons? Its accessibility, fast-paced and social nature, and a strong presence on social media that continues to attract new players of all ages.
For those new to the sport, here’s a curious detail: unlike tennis, there’s no such thing as an ace in padel — and the walls are part of the court. The result? Long rallies, spectacular shots, and relentless rhythm, where technique and tactics matter just as much as power.
Already famous for hosting the Internazionali BNL d’Italia, the Foro Italico has proven to be a perfect stage for padel as well — a young, accessible, and high-energy sport with tennis in its DNA and a strong social dimension. With tribunes just steps from the courts, a cosmopolitan atmosphere, and the timeless allure of Rome as a backdrop, the BNL Italy Major 2025 promises to be an unmissable event — one that blends sport, lifestyle, and culture into a truly unique experience.
