Doha, Qatar: The International Padel Federation (FIP) and the Qatar Tennis Federation (QTF) yesterday announced that the iconic Khalifa International Tennis & Squash Complex in Doha, Qatar, will host the 17th edition of the FIP World Padel Championships from October 28 to November 2, 2024.

The flagship FIP biennial event will see 16 national teams across both the men’s and women’s categories have the opportunity to participate in the pinnacle national team padel tournament in Doha later this year.

Qatar was selected to host this year’s tournament based on a range of leading criteria, including but not limited to the world-class quality of the sporting facilities, the player conditions and support, major events delivery experience, security, financial surety, geographic location and sporting heritage.

The popularity of padel in Qatar has also sky-rocketed in recent years, thanks to QTF’s leadership and local activations, and the passionate local fan base is another advantage of this host location.

The 17th FIP World Padel Championships will have a prize pool of €500,000, to be equally distributed between men and women to all countries qualified for the final stage.
