Oct 22, 2025
The Asia Pacific Padel Tour (APPT) has announced the launch of its APPT Challenger Series across Pakistan — a major milestone aimed at developing and promoting padel at the national level.
Scheduled to begin in 2026, the Challenger Series will provide a structured platform for Pakistani athletes — from beginners to professionals — to compete, earn official rankings, and qualify for the prestigious Asia Pacific Padel Cup (APPC).
According to officials from The Padel Collective, this initiative represents a long-term vision to unlock Pakistan’s padel potential. The national rollout is designed to ensure accessibility, nurture local talent, and establish Pakistan as a key player in the growing global padel community.
The series will feature coordinated events in major cities, encouraging community engagement and helping identify the country’s top players and teams. Organizers expect the initiative to accelerate the sport’s growth and infrastructure, boosting awareness and participation nationwide.
This development marks an exciting step forward for racket sports in Pakistan, providing a clear pathway for aspiring padel professionals and solidifying the country’s presence on the international stage.
