The International Padel Federation has confirmed that the FIP Promises tour is coming back to Chicago from May 29 to 31, 2026, at Padel Clube in Mundelein, Illinois.
For junior players in the United States, this is exactly the kind of event that accelerates development. Official FIP ranking points, a 32-pair main draw, international competition, and courts that are already familiar to many of the top American juniors. All of it, right in the heart of the Midwest.
About FIP Promises
FIP Promises is the International Padel Federation’s global junior circuit, open to players in the U14, U16, and U18 age categories across both Male and Female draws. Every result on the tour counts toward official FIP world rankings, giving young players a direct pathway into the international ranking system.
Padel Clube has hosted this tournament before, and its track record speaks for itself. Bringing FIP Promises back to the same venue is a vote of confidence in what the club has built and the player experience that the tournament creates.

Earning a place on the world stage Â
The FIP Promises circuit is where junior careers get serious. Players who compete regularly on the tour build international ranking points, gain match experience against top competition from South America, Europe, and beyond, and put themselves in front of national team selectors.
The United States is working to build real momentum at the junior level with two FIP Promises already held in the USA this year. The circuit is an opportunity for USA players to qualify for the Continental Finals in December, which brings together the top-ranked players from across North, Central, and South America.
