Euro Padel Cup: NL 2027, DE 2029

Recorded on Jul 21, 2026

The International Padel Federation (FIP) has officially confirmed the host countries for the next two editions of the FIP Euro Padel Cup. The Netherlands will stage the 2027 edition, while Germany will take responsibility for 2029. The announcement carries particular weight for the European calendar because it not only names two host nations but also underlines the FIP’s ambition to plan major competitions early and reliably.

For the first time in its history, the FIP is publishing the organizers of two future editions of this continental event at the same time. This approach forms part of a long-term strategy designed to give international padel greater planning certainty.

Multi-year planning as a sign of maturity

After awarding the FIP World Championships in 2026 and 2028 to Qatar, the world governing body continues its course of giving major competitions more visibility and structure. Setting the 2027 and 2029 host countries early signals that padel increasingly thinks in multi-year cycles.

FIP president Luigi Carraro sees the decision as evidence of the maturity of international padel. Awarding the 2027 and 2029 editions marks an important step. For the first time, a multi-year framework is being put in place for the Euro Padel Cup. That reflects a federation building the future with stability, vision and continuity.

Carraro also stresses the close cooperation with national federations. The choice of the Netherlands and Germany is the result of intensive coordination with the respective associations. Both countries have demonstrated remarkable padel growth at every level. For the FIP, that is central: hosts should be organizationally capable and have an active national market behind the event.

Netherlands open 2027 with the 15th edition

The Netherlands will host the 15th edition of the FIP Euro Padel Cup. The schedule for 2027 is already largely set and gives the competition a clear structure across several months. Phase 1 is planned from 7 to 10 March 2027, with possible adjustments if the number of entered teams affects the format. Phase 2 follows immediately afterwards from 11 to 13 March 2027.

Phase 1: 7 to 10 March 2027
Phase 2: 11 to 13 March 2027
Final 8: 7 to 11 July 2027

The Final 8 is scheduled for 7 to 11 July 2027 and is expected to form the sporting climax of the Dutch edition. Which cities will host the individual phases will be announced later by the Dutch federation. That leaves room for a regional distribution that takes sporting requirements and local infrastructure into account.

Jacco Eltingh, sporting director of the Dutch federation KNLTB, expressly welcomes the nomination. Padel is among the fastest-growing sports in the Netherlands. More than 876,000 participants and over 3,500 courts show that the base is already broad. Staging the Euro Padel Cup is, from the KNLTB’s perspective, a logical next step to give that boom an international stage.

The event will be organized in partnership with Athvance Sports. The plan is a tournament spread across several cities. This model is intended to showcase the breadth of the Dutch padel landscape and involve different regions in the continental event.

Germany hosts for the first time in 2029

The 2029 edition will be a historic moment for Germany: the country will host the FIP Euro Padel Cup for the first time. The award comes as the German market gains clear momentum, with more clubs, venues and youth programs emerging.

Steffi Steible, managing director of the German Padel Federation, sees the nomination as an important impulse. The FIP’s trust reflects the remarkable growth of padel in Germany. Staging such a major competition series is more than a single sporting event. It offers a chance to inspire a new generation and further accelerate the sport’s expansion in the country.

For the German federation, the award also means responsibility. By 2029, venues, logistics, volunteer structures and the sporting preparation of national teams must reach a level that meets the demands of a continental championship. At the same time, the event can act as a catalyst: municipalities, investors and associations gain a clear target year for expansion and quality improvements.

A European competition of growing importance

With the double award, the FIP underlines its intention to structure the international calendar sustainably and actively accompany padel’s development across the European continent. The Euro Padel Cup is meant not only to deliver results but also to strengthen markets where the sport is expanding rapidly. The Netherlands and Germany exemplify that dynamic: high growth rates, rising infrastructure and interest in international formats.

A clear roadmap therefore emerges for the coming years. After the Netherlands in 2027 comes Germany in 2029. With these stops, the FIP aims to make the Euro Padel Cup one of the central dates in the European padel calendar.

Whether in the Dutch host venues or later in Germany, the coming editions of the FIP Euro Padel Cup will show how strongly the continental competition can benefit from growing national markets. The FIP’s decision gives both countries a clear stage and European padel a binding outlook on the second half of this decade.
