Rafa Nadal Academy and Holafly Partner for Padel Tour European Expansion

The international growth of the Rafa Nadal Academy Padel Tour is showing no signs of slowing down, following a strategic partnership with internet mobile connectivity services company Holafly.

The amateur circuit, promoted by the Rafa Nadal Academy, has already established itself in Spain and Italy, where more than 3,000 players took part in last year’s event, and in the United States. And now as global interest in padel increases, the circuit is accelerating its European expansion by announcing events in Poland, the United Kingdom and Germany.

In Poland, there will be three official stops on the circuit in 2026, namely Gdynia (May, 30–31), Warsaw (September, 4–6) and Katowice (October 10–11).

In the United Kingdom, the tour will visit London twice — September 19 and 20 and November 14 and 15 — as well as Manchester on October 17 and 18.

In Germany events are planned in cities such as Munich and Hamburg.

Meanwhile, the Italian leg of the Rafa Nadal Academy Padel Tour will consist of six tournaments, two of which have already taken place (in Turin from April, 10–12, and Ancona from April, 24–26) while the remaining four will be held in Rome (May, 22–24), Milan (June, 12–14), Naples (June, 26–28) and Florence (September, 18–20).

The circuit will eventually culminate in the grand finale at the Rafa Nadal Academy in Mallorca, Spain, where the best teams from all the circuits will come together.
