The Portuguese Padel Federation (FPP) has joined the World Padel Tour Next initiative. The regulatory entity joins the project two weeks after its birth.

This means all WPT Next events organised in Portugal will award WPT ranking points.

The nature of the agreement remains open to the admission of national federations upon request.

World Padel Tour and the Portuguese Padel Federation (FPP) have reached an agreement whereby all WPT Next events organised in Portugal will award WPT points. This will allow young Portuguese players to progress on their road to professional WPT events.

Continuing with the egalitarian line marked by WPT and many of the national federations who regulate padel in Europe and Central and South America, all tournaments will have the same prize money in male and female categories, so padel under the umbrella of both organisations is consolidated as the only sport with equality both at amateur and at professional level.

Just a few days after the agreement struck between WPT and the Spanish Federation, its Portuguese counterpart has decided to take the step that consolidates grassroots competitions as the driving force behind padel at pre-professional level throughout the Iberian Peninsula.
