After months of anticipation following the United States' thrilling victory at the Pan American Open Amateur Tournament in Cancun, Mexico, the American Padel Federation (APF) has just announced an exhilarating 2024 Pan American International Tournament schedule.
The 2023 Open tournament held in Cancun, Mexico, was nothing short of spectacular. It saw Team USA clinching a historic win that announced their arrival as a formidable force in the sport of Padel. In the face of adversity and last-minute venue changes due to Hurricane Otis, the American team showed incredible resilience and skill, much to the joy and pride of fans back home. Team USA’s efforts were supported by the volunteer coaching teams and Team USA's Gold Level sponsors—Padel Lux, Padel Haus, and VanEck. In addition the team's uniform sponsor Bullpadel continues to outfit the teams in the best clothing possible.
As we turn our attention to 2024, the APF has revealed that four major events will be hosted across the Americas. These tournaments promise to draw in fans and players alike, building upon the previous year's momentum:
