HAPPENING 28 Sep–5 Oct 2025 | Premier Padel's P1 tournament is set to make a significant mark in Rotterdam Ahoy this September, promising an engaging event for padel enthusiasts and professionals alike.
Decathlon Premier Padel returns to Rotterdam in 2025
The second edition of the Decathlon Premier Padel Rotterdam has been announced for 2025, taking place from 28 September to 5 October at Rotterdam Ahoy. Over the course of the week, fans of padel will have the opportunity to watch high-level matches featuring some of the world’s top players.
The event, part of the international P1 circuit, aims to bring together sports enthusiasts and padel professionals for an engaging experience. Attendees can expect a mix of competitive matches and opportunities to engage with the sport themselves, including hands-on activities in a dedicated participation hall.
International padel athletes announced for Rotterdam P1
The line-up for the Decathlon Premier Padel Rotterdam P1 tournament continues to take shape. Among those scheduled to appear is 23-year-old Arturo Coello, a Spanish athlete whose presence on the court has earned him the nickname ‘El Rey Arturo’ (King Arthur). Known for his physical playing style, Coello will team up with Agustin Tapia, a 25-year-old also from Spain. Tapia is often referred to as ‘El Mozart del Padel’ due to his refined technique and creativity in play.
On the women’s side, Ariana Sánchez Fallada, aged 27 and born in Spain, is expected to bring her strategic approach and technical prowess to the court. Her play has earned her the moniker “Magic Ari”. She will be joined by Paula Josemaría Martín, a fellow Spaniard, known as ‘Paula Dinamita’ because of her explosive and unpredictable playing style. Notably, Josemaría plays right side despite being left-handed, which is considered to provide a tactical edge.
Alejandro Galán is a Spanish player known for his explosive style and exceptional athleticism. Before choosing padel, he was a talented footballer. Nowadays, few padel players can match his lightning-fast reflexes and powerful smashes. By his side stands Federico Chingotto, also known as 'El Ratón'. He earns this nickname – the mouse – thanks to his small stature, agility, and lightning-quick movements. These qualities make him nearly impossible for defenders to catch.
Additional participants in the Rotterdam P1 tournament are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
