According to statistics, approximately 30 million people in over 90 countries currently participate in Padel sports, and the number is still growing. Padel is gaining popularity worldwide. What is it that attracts so many people to this sport?
First, padel is an easy-to-learn sport that caters to everyone from children to seniors. It takes less than an hour for a enthusiast to step onto a padel court, pick up a racket, and start playing.
Second, the social nature of padel is a key factor in its popularity. Padel, typically played by two teams of four, is a team-oriented sport that requires synergy between partners. Unlike traditional tennis, this unique feature allows players to hit the ball before or after it bounces off the surrounding glass walls. Good coordination between teammates increases the chances of scoring, and many people develop a deep bond and fall in love with the sport through this collaborative effort.
Finally, while padel remains a relatively niche sport globally, with a relatively small professional market, it has risen to a level of popularity comparable to football in some European countries. For example, in Spain, with over 6 million active padel tennis players and over 20,000 padel courts, padel tennis has become the second most popular sport in the country, second only to football.
In view of the current dissemination and promotion of padel events, I believe that this sport will attract more and more people to participate.
