Now where does that leave our beloved sport, padel, today?
Well, we know there is an international federation that governs the world game, the International Padel Federation. And the Federación Internacional de Pádel (FIP), as it is known in Spanish, adheres to WADA guidelines. That means the first two points are met already.
The third point is obviously no issue too – no motor equipment is needed in padel. Just a ball and racket, of which there are many to choose from.
The final point is the one where padel misses out. While the game is played on all continents, it falls short on the number of countries it is played in, especially in the men’s category. However, it is not all bad news. While it doesn’t quite reach the criteria, padel has been given Association of IOC Recognized International Sport (ARISF) status, meaning that it will be monitored on a regular basis as it grows. When it reaches all the criteria, it can then be considered for selection at the Olympic Games.
