Dubai is set to host the Dubai Premier Padel P1 Championship once again, returning from 9 to 16 November 2025 with a larger venue, increased prize pool, and some of the world’s top-ranked players—marking a major milestone in the UAE’s rise as a global padel hub.
After drawing 24,000 spectators in its 2024 debut, the tournament will move to the 15,000-capacity Hamdan Sports Complex, the region’s largest indoor sports arena. The venue boasts a 7,000-seat Centre Court—the biggest in UAE padel history—alongside multiple competition and practice courts accessible to fans.
Organised by Gallop Global, the event is part of the international Premier Padel tour. Early-bird general admission tickets start from AED36 and are available via Platinumlist.com. Centre Court tickets include access to all other matches.
The 2025 edition will feature the sport’s biggest stars, including men’s World No.1 duo Arturo Coello and Agustin Tapia, and women’s top-ranked team Ari Sanchez and Paula Josemaria. The prize pool has increased slightly to €474,500 (AED1.98 million), reinforcing the tournament’s elite status.
Sheikh Saeed bin Maktoum bin Juma Al Maktoum, President of the UAE Padel Association, called the championship’s return a landmark for the sport’s continued growth in the country.
Saeed Mohammed Hareb of the Dubai Sports Council highlighted the venue upgrade as a testament to Dubai’s ambition in global sports.
With added entertainment and fan experiences planned, Tournament Director Ivan Modia said the 2025 event reflects the UAE’s strong support for padel’s development.
Now home to around 1,000 padel courts—30% of Asia’s total—the UAE is rapidly cementing its place on the global padel map. More information is available at dubaipremierpadel.ae.
