A world class tournament!
The best padel players in the world met in Spain in 2025, to play the second edition of a unique competition in the world: America vs Europe
America vs Europe is a team padel tournament, which consists of a match between selected teams from America and Europe, (similar to the Laver Cup of Tennis or the Ryder Cup of Golf).
The founder and CEO of the competition is Argentine entrepreneur Lisandro Borges, who created the tournament in 2018. “It is very important for padel to finally have its own Laver Cup, as the tournament showcases the best male padel players in the world in a completely unique way, making it a true celebration of padel that will be loved by fans and embraced by players,” Borges stated.
“I’m very pleased that the competition will take place in Spain, as Spain is the vibrant heart of the sport and the birthplace of global padel,” Borges added.
The competition comes at just the right time, as for many years Argentines dominated the circuit, but there has been a shift, and Spain has taken the lead. Now, padel is at its peak, with several nationalities boasting excellent representatives.
