“Nature is greening with padel”, the new green initiative at the FIP Silver Cupra Antalya

A padel racket with deep roots and a tree growing inside it. This is the beautiful image used by the Turkish Federation to promote the new green initiative during the FIP Silver Cupra Antalya 2025, part of the CUPRA FIP Tour in Turkey, where Mario Ortega–Alex Arroyo won in the men’s draw and Ariadna Cañellas–Marta Arellano won in the women’s draw.

The project was created to promote environmental social responsibility, a theme always very important for the International Padel Federation (FIP). As part of the initiative, 75 trees were planted in the Durmuşlar Forest in Gaziantep. Each player also received a personalized digital certificate recognizing their contribution to nature.“Nature is greening with padel, and every team leaves a mark with sapling,” was the message inviting all countries and organizations that host FIP tournaments to support the project together with their local partners. This way, every FIP event will help achieve the goal of a greener padel and a greener world.
