The largest global professional padel tour 

Introducing the world's new leading pro padel tour: Premier Padel. The successor of the World Padel Tour is governed by the International Padel Federation (FIP) and supported by the Professional Padel Association (PPA) and Qatar Sports Investments (QSI). Premier Padel boasts 25 tournaments across 5 continents – making it the first truly global professional padel circuit. The first European leg, Brussels Premier Padel, kicks off on April 20 and concludes on April 28 with the men’s and women's finals. 

Premium padel turf provided by Act Sports 

The organizers of Brussels Premier Padel have selected Act Sports, Beaulieu International Group's sports brand, as the official turf provider for their prestigious tournament. "The best players in the world deserve a world-class playing surface," emphasizes Vincent Laureyssens, Executive President at Brussels Premier Padel. "Act Sports is one of the key actors in the industry and is known for delivering premium-quality turf. We're thrilled to collaborate with them, ensuring a safe and comfortable playing experience for all players."

In addition to installing two new padel courts at Gare Maritime, the venue will also be equipped with Rewind – B.I.G.'s circular event carpet. After the event, this carpet will be recycled into high-quality polypropylene (PP) pellets to create new products, and the padel turf will also be collected for mechanical recycling. "With this initiative, we aim to set an example and inspire our colleagues worldwide to strive for a more sustainable tour," Nicolas Lhoist, CEO adds. 

Pioneering in padel 

The new courts for Brussels Premier Padel will feature Act Sports' #Score – a texturized padel turf with an in-house extruded polyethylene yarn. #Score is designed for intense use and long life with minimal maintenance. Thanks to the low amount of silica required, it provides excellent grip for players without affecting game speed. 

With its flagship #Score and other products, Act Sports is a trusted partner of the global padel industry. "Every year, we supply premium turf for thousands of courts, providing joy to millions of recreational and professional players globally," says Lieven Bertier, Marketing Director at Act Sports. "We're extremely proud to link our brand to Brussels and Premier Padel, and we're excited to see the world's best players star on our turf."
