The owners of Premier Padel™ and the World Padel Tour have agreed to commence talks to promote “positive collaborations” as part of plans to grow the profile of the sport.
The two tours have clashed since Qatar Sports Investments (QSI) partnered with the International Padel Federation (FIP) last February to create Premier Padel, which now rivals the pre-existing Damm-owned WPT, a separate entity from the FIP.
Premier Padel™ said “QSI, the FIP and the PPA had agreed to talks with Damm, the owner of Setpoint Events and organiser of the World Padel Tour, on potential positive collaborations and outcomes within the sport of padel to develop the sport to the next level globally, the parties have agreed to enter talks with Damm (WPT) to explore possible collaborations and outcomes.”
