Following its consolidation in Spain, where two successful editions have already been held, and the launch of the circuit in Italy, the Rafa Nadal Academy Padel Tour continues to grow and will arrive in the United States in 2026 with Playtomic. In this way, the amateur circuit promoted by the Rafa Nadal Academy\u2014which combines sport, leisure, competition, and values\u2014will take a new strategic step in its internationalization process with four events on US soil. <\/p>\n\n
The Rafa Nadal Academy Padel Tour USA by Playtomic calendar will consist of four events: it will kick off in Miami from March 13 to 15 at the “Padel X” club, followed by a stop from April 24 to 26 at “Padel 39” in Austin. The third event will take place at “Ultra Padel Miami” from May 8 to 10, and the closing event will be at “Reserve New York” in the heart of Manhattan. <\/p>\n\n
For this expansion, the Rafa Nadal Academy will have the strategic support of Playtomic, the world’s leading app for racket sport players and clubs, which helps find courts, connect with other players, and focus on enjoying the game. At a time of strong growth for padel in North America, this alliance reinforces the circuit’s international ambition and its implementation capacity in key markets. The alliance with Babolat will also be key, as it has positioned itself as a strategic partner of the circuit and one of the big attractions for fans. Participants will receive brand products in the Welcome Packs, and winners will be awarded Babolat rackets. <\/p>\n\n
At the event held at Club G24 in Madrid, Maribel Nadal, Deputy General Manager of the Rafa Nadal Academy, spoke very positively about this new step: “After the great reception we’ve had in Spain and the start of the circuit in Italy, making the leap to the United States is a very important step for us. Padel is growing spectacularly in this market, and doing so alongside a strategic partner like Playtomic allows us to continue bringing our methodology, our values, and our way of understanding competition to new players and new communities.”<\/p>\n\n
Maribel was accompanied at the event by Franco Stupaczuck, number 5 in the world padel ranking, Mr. Alberto Tom\u00e9, Director General of Sports for the Community of Madrid, and Ezequiel Garay, former footballer and owner of the G24 club.<\/p>\n\n
Laura Rivas, Sponsorship Director at Playtomic, mentioned: “Our mission is to drive the global growth of racket sports through technology and, therefore, we are especially excited to accompany and support the Rafa Nadal Academy in its arrival<\/p>\n\n
in the United States. We have full confidence in this format, which strengthens the community and brings competition closer to new players in a key country for the future of padel.” <\/p>\n\n
The arrival in the US further internationalizes the Rafa Nadal Academy Padel Tour, which in 2026 will continue to visit some of the main cities in the country such as Santander, Madrid, Gij\u00f3n, Jerez, Valladolid, Estepona, Seville, and Valencia before reaching the final event at the Rafa Nadal Academy in Manacor. Meanwhile, the circuit in Italy, which will also conclude in Mallorca, will stop in Rome, Milan, Naples, Florence, Turin, and Ancona. <\/p>\n\n
Known for training world-class tennis players since its opening in 2016 in Manacor, the Rafa Nadal Academy has also made a firm commitment to padel thanks to the development of training programs for youth and adults in state-of-the-art facilities featuring nine outdoor courts and ten indoor courts. Its fitness center, pioneering health and wellness spaces, wide range of dining options, and modern residence have made the Rafa Nadal Academy one of the ideal places for playing padel. All of this has fostered a perfect environment both for the development of young talent and for adults wishing to enjoy a unique experience in a habitat designed for high performance and sporting enjoyment. <\/p>\n\n
