The city of Jerez de la Frontera joins the Rafa Nadal Academy Pádel Tour by The Adecco Group calendar with the staging, from June 5 to 7 at the Padel Jacaranda facilities, of a new stop on a circuit that continues to establish itself as one of Spain’s leading amateur competitions.

The Cádiz event will mark the Tour’s debut in Jerez de la Frontera and a further sign of the growth the circuit has experienced in recent years. Thanks to the support of the Provincial Council of Cádiz, the province joins for the first time the calendar of a competition that has established itself as one of the major benchmarks in amateur padel in Spain. Jerez thus joins Santander, Gijón and Madrid, cities that have already hosted circuit events this season. After the Cádiz stop, Valladolid, Estepona, Seville and Valencia will round out the calendar before the grand final, which as tradition dictates will be played at the Rafa Nadal Academy in Mallorca.

True to its identity, the circuit maintains its innovative team format inspired by the Hexagon Cup, one of its key differentiators. Each team is made up of a minimum of six players split into three pairs per tie, guaranteeing at least two match-ups per event and encouraging both competitiveness and a shared experience. Just for taking part, each player will receive a Welcome Pack including a Nike T-shirt, wristband, grip and Babolat tote bag, as well as products from Cantabria Labs and NDL.

Maribel Nadal, Deputy General Manager of the Rafa Nadal Academy, highlighted the importance of continuing to expand the circuit’s presence at new venues: “We’re very excited to arrive in Jerez de la Frontera for the first time. Our goal is to keep bringing the Rafa Nadal Academy Padel Tour to new cities and offer players a unique experience based on the Academy’s values, methodology and spirit. We’re confident that Jerez will respond with strong participation and enjoy a fantastic weekend of padel.”

The Rafa Nadal Academy Padel Tour by The Adecco Group heads into a new edition in 2026 after closing a historic 2025, in which the circuit brought together nearly 2,000 players and confirmed its status as one of the country’s most important amateur competitions.

After doubling its number of participants last season, the Tour continues to grow thanks to the backing of The Adecco Group as title sponsor and the support of strategic partners such as Babolat, Quirónsalud, Grupo COX, BIKKOA and Padel Point, whose involvement adds value to each event through activations, prizes and exclusive experiences.

In addition, the circuit continues to develop its international expansion project. In 2026, the United States will host new events in cities such as Miami, Austin and New York, while Italy will once again play a leading role with tournaments in Rome, Milan, Naples, Florence, Turin and Ancona. Poland, Germany and the United Kingdom will be other countries included in the international calendar, further consolidating the project’s global growth.

An experience that transcends competition

The Rafa Nadal Academy Padel Tour by The Adecco Group maintains its goal of bringing the values, methodology, and DNA of the Rafa Nadal Academy to amateur padel, combining competition, experience, and community at each of its venues. The arrival in Jerez de la Frontera marks a new step in that mission and an opportunity for padel fans in the province of Cádiz to enjoy one of the most complete amateur experiences on the national scene.
