With over 250 courts spread across the city, the game has become a major trend in the city.
Initially, the sport started with just a few courts scattered around the country. However, the demand for courts increased significantly with more people becoming interested in Padel and recognising its unique appeal.
“When I first came to the UAE, there were only a couple of padel courts, solo players, and few people competing, but now you can’t count the courts; everyone, not just athletes, is enjoying it,” said Joaquin Torrente, a padel coach from Spain, who moved to Dubai four years ago.
In recent years in the UAE, particularly in Dubai, Padel has witnessed a huge turnout of players and gained a strong foothold. Padel courts have increased throughout the Emirates, both indoors and outdoors, popping up in various locations such as clubs, homes, and even farms owned by citizens and residents.
