What is FIP Beyond?

FIP Beyond is FIP’s global tour dedicated to amateur padel, launched to complement the global federation’s professional circuits, Premier Padel and the Cupra FIP Tour, as well as FIP Promises, its junior pathway. Approved at the FIP General Assembly in Acapulco, FIP Beyond was created to provide amateur players of all ages, including seniors and former professionals, with a structured, professionally run competitive pathway of their own.

Results across the FIP Beyond tour feed into the FIP Beyond Ranking, calculated from each player’s best 11 results. That ranking determines access to the tour’s marquee events: the FIP Beyond Finals, the FIP Beyond Continental Cup by Pairs, and the FIP Beyond World Cup by Pairs.

“Bringing FIP Beyond to Miami is a huge step for padel in this region. We wanted to build an event that gives senior and amateur players the same professional experience our top pros get, from the courts to the hospitality, while keeping the focus on competition and community. Miami has an incredible padel community, and we think this weekend is going to show just how far the amateur game has come.” – Andi Neugarten-Maio, Tournament Director
