KARACHI: The Pakistan Padel Federation (PPF) announced on Tuesday to organise the National Padel Championship, scheduled to take place from April 11-13, here at Padelverse.

The event, held under the umbrella of the International Padel Federation and Padel-Asia, in collaboration with Padelverse and Play Pro, will feature three competitive categories: men, women and mixed.

In a bid to promote the sport, the PPF has issued a National Padel License free of charge for all participants. The championship aims to establish a national ranking system, with results displayed on the PPF website.

Cash prizes totaling up to PKR one million will be awarded across the three categories for winners, first runners-up and second runners-up.

A selection committee will identify players for the Pakistan Team, which will compete in the Asian Padel Championship in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, scheduled for October this year.
