Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], August 22 (ANI): India is all set to witness a historic sporting milestone as PadelPark India officially announces 'Padel All Stars.' The landmark, one-night-only exhibition will bring the world's undisputed No. 1 padel duo, Arturo Coello and Agustin Tapia, to Indian soil for the first time, according to a release.
On August 29, the iconic Dome SVP Stadium (NSCI), Worli, Mumbai, will host one of India's most anticipated premium sports and lifestyle spectacles, expected to have over 4,000 spectators.
Following the sport's recent recognition as an official medal sport at the Asian Games, the event reflects its unprecedented growth across the country, now home to a thriving community of more than 100k+ active players, the release said.
Padel All Stars is engineered as a high-octane lifestyle experience. Attendees can expect a world-class padel exhibition match, thrilling appearances by top Indian players competing on court, and much more.
Adding to the excitement, they will be playing alongside and against two internationally ranked professional players, Alfonso Sanchez and Anton Sanz, bringing an added level of skill, intensity and global sporting calibre to the evening.
The event is expected to welcome celebrated stars alongside leading corporate leaders, entertainment personalities, and distinguished members of India's sporting fraternity, creating an unparalleled atmosphere of glamour and excitement.
Reflecting on the milestone, Jigar Doshi, Co-Founder of PadelPark India, said, "For the past 3 to 4 years, we've watched padel grow in India, court by court, city by city. Padel All Stars is the moment it goes from a movement to a mainstage - because when the world's No. 1 pair, Arturo Coello and Agustin Tapia, choose to play here, the world starts paying attention. We're deeply grateful to Arturo and Agustin for believing in this vision and making India part of their journey. This is not just an exhibition match; it's a signal that India has arrived on the global padel map, and an invitation to the next generation to pick up a racket, start playing, and compete in India's fastest-growing sport."
As Padel continues its remarkable rise across India, Padel All Stars represents far more than the country's first opportunity to witness the world's No. 1 duo compete live. It marks a defining moment in the sport's journey from a niche recreational activity to one of India's fastest-growing sporting disciplines, the release said.
Driven by expanding infrastructure, increasing participation, and growing investment, India is rapidly emerging as a significant market within the global padel ecosystem. Through Padel All Stars, PadelPark India celebrates this achievement, reinforces India's position on the international padel stage, and inspires the next generation of players to embrace the sport.
