This April, Monaco’s Grimaldi Forum will once again welcome the Padel Best Village event, now in its third edition, having been rebranded from Padel Best Expo for 2025. The upcoming event, which will take place over the weekend of 26th and 27th April, aims to blend sport with business and networking opportunities, while providing a space for fans and players to meet and connect.
Padel Best Village, formerly known as Padel Best Expo, is adopting a new name and a new focus for 2025.
At the top of the agenda is the aim to establish a stronger sense of community and collaboration among the young sport’s players and supporters.
Padel is already a popular sport in Monaco, embraced by athletes from diverse backgrounds. It is also booming in France, with over 719 courts now installed, surpassing Italy’s tally for the first time. The sport boasts 700,000 players in France and has experienced more than 30% market growth in the past year.
One of the highlights of the weekend in Monaco will be the Givova Five Padel Cup, featuring the Italy-France Padel Cup. Eight clubs from each nation will compete, showcasing top talent and further strengthening ties between their sporting communities. Visitors can also look forward to appearances from notable names in the world of sport, such as Dario Marcolin, Jimmy Ghione, and football legends Frank De Boer, Nelson Dida and Fabio Quagliarella.
Beatrice Preziosi, Project Manager of Padel Best Village, tells Monaco Life, “We are grateful for the support of the International Federations, which have helped elevate this sport to an international level. Last year’s edition was a success, and we are excited to bring a prestigious event with high-level content to Monaco once again.”
Meanwhile, Gianmarco Nardi from the event’s PR team adds, “This event has the potential to become a real institution in Monaco. The extraordinary growth of padel in France reflects its potential, and the Givova Five Padel Cup will once again be a standout feature of the weekend.”
