The international growth of the Rafa Nadal Academy Padel Tour is continuing at pace in 2026 thanks to its strategic partnership with Holafly as the tour’s global partner. Having established itself in Spain and Italy, where more than 3,000 players took part in last year’s event, the amateur circuit promoted by the Rafa Nadal Academy has now reached the USA and will continue its expansion into three new European countries: Poland, the United Kingdom and Germany, markets where interest in padel is rising rapidly and there is a growing community of amateur players keen to compete and enjoy experiences linked to the sport.

In Poland, the circuit will feature three official venues in 2026: Gdynia (30–31 May), Warsaw (4–6 September) and Katowice (10–11 October), thereby strengthening the tour’s presence in Eastern Europe.

In the United Kingdom, the circuit will visit London on two occasions—September 19-20 and November 14-15—in addition to Manchester on October 17-18, bringing the tour format to one of Europe’s most dynamic sports markets.

Germany will be another strategic new country for the circuit, with events planned in cities such as Munich and Hamburg, further expanding the international dimension of the project.

Meanwhile, the Italian circuit of the Rafa Nadal Academy Padel Tour will feature six tournaments in the country’s main cities: Rome (May 22-24), Milan (June 12-14), Naples (June 26-28), and Florence (September 18-20), in addition to the events already held in Turin (April 10-12) and Ancona (April 24-26). All of this will culminate with the grand final to be held at the Rafa Nadal Academy in Mallorca, where the best teams from all circuits will gather.

The alliance with Holafly will be key in this new phase of international growth for the circuit. The company, a global leader in eSIMs for travelers with coverage in more than 200 destinations, has over 15 million users and a 4.6 out of 5 rating on Trustpilot, positioning itself as one of the preferred technology solutions for international travelers thanks to its unlimited data plans.

As the Rafa Nadal Academy Padel Tour continues to expand into new international markets, the collaboration with Holafly reinforces the circuit’s global ambition and its connection with a new generation of internationally minded players and fans.

Daniela Prado, Holafly’s brand director, stated: “Padel is one of the fastest-growing sports communities in the world and reflects a global and dynamic lifestyle that fits perfectly with Holafly’s brand vision. We are proud to collaborate with the Rafa Nadal Academy Padel Tour in its international expansion and in its goal of bringing this sport to new communities and players.”

Maribel Nadal, deputy general director of the Rafa Nadal Academy, highlighted the importance of this news: “This alliance with Holafly strengthens our international growth and allows us to continue consolidating the Rafa Nadal Academy Padel Tour as a leading circuit, bringing our philosophy and experience to new countries such as Poland, the United Kingdom, and Germany.”

With tournaments in major European countries and a constantly growing community of players, the Rafa Nadal Academy Padel Tour continues to establish itself as one of the leading international amateur circuits, bringing the spirit, values, and methodology of the Academy to new markets and new players each season.
