International Padel Federation

The Federación Internacional de Pádel (FIP) (English: International Padel Federation) is the global governing body for the fast-growing sport of padel. Founded in 1991 in Madrid by representatives from the Argentinian, Spanish, and Uruguayan Padel Federations, the FIP is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting padel worldwide.

One of its key responsibilities is organizing the prestigious Padel World Championship for both male and female players. The FIP has recently taken a more prominent role in the professional padel circuit. In 2022, the FIP entered into a strategic partnership with Qatar Sports Investments (QSI), a Qatari investment fund known for its ownership of Paris Saint-Germain football club. This collaboration aimed to launch a new professional circuit called Premier Padel, governed by the FIP.

Following this partnership, QSI acquired the World Padel Tour (WPT) in 2023. Consequently, the WPT will no longer exist as a separate entity, and its players and tournaments will be integrated into the unified Premier Padel circuit overseen by the FIP.
