“Padel Best Expo is a project that was born from the decision to dedicate ourselves to the padel sector in 2021, with the foundation of Padel Media Communication,” explains Roberta Ceccarelli, CEO of Padel Best Expo and Founder of Padel Media Communication.
“We went through the successful experience of the Five Padel Cup, which confirmed that our intuition is right. For Padel Best Expo we formed a great team and as CEO I am very proud to announce that the second edition of the Five Padel Cup will be organized within this great container created to provide an immersive experience for fans and companies.
“In a momentous time such as the one we are experiencing, we need to recover the centrality of sport, which unites, aggregates and is a formidable vehicle of health and psychological wellbeing for the new generations, but also for all segments of the population.”
Five Padel Cup is the event within the Padel Best Expo event, which has, for its second edition, the courts set up inside the Grimaldi Forum, a versatile location with contemporary architecture and design, an ideal venue for hosting tournaments and themed areas with exhibition stands.
