The Padel Best Village is set to make a vibrant return to Monaco’s Grimaldi Forum on the 26th and 27th April. This third edition promises an enriched experience, blending sport, art, and philanthropy in the heart of the Principality.
Central to the event is the Givova Five Padel Cup, featuring the Italy-France Padel Cup. This tournament will see eight clubs from each nation competing, highlighting the growing popularity of padel in both countries. Notably, France has surpassed Italy with over 719 courts and boasts 700,000 players, reflecting a market growth of more than 30% in the past year.
Adding a cultural dimension, the 2025 edition introduces new areas, including a dedicated art section. Renowned artist Dicò, known as ‘The Fire Artist’ for his unique technique of using fire in his creations, will be showcasing his work. “It is a great honour for me to be present at Padel Best Village and contribute to supporting the Fight Aids association,” said Dicò, who plans to donate one of his pieces as a prize during the gala dinner’s activities.
The event will also feature French football legends Sébastien Frey and Vincent Candela, while the Italian Embassy in Monaco has granted its patronage to the Padel Best Village 2025. Ambassador Manuela Ruosi highlighted the initiative’s value, noting its role in promoting investment opportunities, tourism, and fostering inclusion and integration.
Culminating the two-day event, a gala dinner will be held on 27th April at Twiga. The evening will include an awards ceremony for standout teams and a charitable activity benefiting the Fight Aids Monaco Association, founded by Princess Stéphanie. Attendees will have the opportunity to contribute to the association’s mission of supporting those affected by HIV.
