With our new partnership and Premier Padel events in Germany, we are sending a clear signal – and laying the foundation for a successful future in this country for what is already the fastest-growing sport in the world today.’
Stefan Schuster, shareholder and managing director of mm sports:
‘When the representatives of the Premier Padel Tour, Joan Cusco and David Serrahima, approached us with the idea of a P2 event in Germany, our decision was quickly made. We are very pleased to be able to tackle this exciting development as mm sports padel with two such experienced and strong partners as the Hopp Family Office and PadelCity.’
David Serrahima, General Manager, Premier Padel:
‘Bringing the Premier Padel Tour to Düsseldorf is a significant milestone for padel in Germany. With its vibrant sports culture and dedicated fan base, Germany has the potential to play a key role in the global rise of padel. Thanks to the shared vision and collaboration of mm sports, PadelCity and the Hopp Family Office, we are creating a strong foundation for the long-term success of the sport – and we look forward to German fans experiencing padel at the highest professional level in Germany later this year.’
