From September 12 to 14, the city of Seville will host, for the first time, a round of the Rafa Nadal Academy Pádel Tour by The Adecco Group , the amateur padel circuit organized by the Rafa Nadal Academy, which combines competition, leisure, fun and values.

Seville will be able to enjoy a circuit that last year brought together more than 1,000 players and was nominated for Best Amateur Circuit of the Year at the World Padel Awards, organized annually by Pádel Spain.

Inspired by the team competition promoted by the Hexagon Cup , each team participating in the Seville event will be composed of a minimum of six players, forming three pairs per knockout round. Each team is also guaranteed to compete in at least two knockout rounds.

The tournament will be held at the Iconic Sports & Social , a club inaugurated last May and featuring 15 padel courts—12 of them indoors and 3 outdoors—a state-of-the-art 4,000 m² facility in the city of Seville.

The championship will feature two men’s and two women’s categories, in which teams will compete to be crowned champions and qualify for a spot in the final round in Mallorca, at the Rafa Nadal Academy by Movistar, next December.

Maribel Nadal , deputy general manager of the Rafa Nadal Academy by Movistar, comments on the arrival of the Rafa Nadal Academy Pádel Tour by The Adecco Group to Seville: “We’re really looking forward to coming to Seville, a city that experiences sport in a very special way, and where I’m sure we’ll experience some truly special moments. I encourage everyone to come and experience team padel, which will leave no one indifferent.”

Throughout this year, the Rafa Nadal Academy Pádel Tour by The Adecco Group 2025 has already toured Santander , Madrid , Barcelona , and Estepona . After the Seville event, the circuit will travel to Valencia and Gijón , culminating in the final event in Manacor . In parallel, this year’s international expansion has begun with a Tour that also visits six cities in Italy. Both circuits will converge in the grand final, which will be held in December at the Rafa Nadal Academy by Movistar in Mallorca.

Just for registering for the event, all players will receive a Welcome Pack containing a Nike t-shirt, a product offered by NDL Pro-Health, Babolat wristbands, Príncipe cookies, and photo protection from Cantabria Labs. In addition to the BABOLAT rackets the champions will win, there will also be raffles and gifts offered by QuirónSalud, ZEL, and Bezoya, tour partners. The Marbella champions will also win tickets to support the Rafa Nadal Academy team at the Hexagon Cup.

Known for its prestige in training young tennis players since its opening in 2016, the Rafa Nadal Academy by Movistar has also invested in padel tennis by developing training programs for youth and adults in state-of-the-art facilities featuring 19 padel courts (9 outdoor and 10 indoor). Its fitness center, pioneering health and wellness spaces, extensive dining options, and modern residence make the Rafa Nadal Academy a unique experience.

Now, with the organization of the Rafa Nadal Academy Padel Tour by The Adecco Group, the objective is to publicize the values, methodology and DNA of the academy in the amateur padel environment thanks to a new circuit that is here to stay.
