About World Padel Network®
The home of global padel.
World Padel Network exists because the sport’s rapid global growth has outpaced the tools, connections, and information the industry needs to grow well. We’re building that infrastructure to support each key padel stakeholder.
Built from experience.
World Padel Network started in Barcelona, where founder Jamie Rowe experienced first-hand how padel connects people from completely different backgrounds and from across the world.
But there was no single, trusted place to find where to play, who to partner with, or what was happening in the industry globally. The information was scattered, the data unreliable, and the connections ad hoc.
World Padel Network was built to change that – combining verified data, premium editorial, and a global business network in one trusted platform, spanning 30+ countries.
Our values and what we stand for.
- Trust Is Everything: We earn authority through accuracy and consistency. Every profile, every piece of editorial either builds or erodes trust. We choose quality over speed, always.
- Serve the Whole Ecosystem: Padel is more than a sport played on courts. We build for club operators, coaches, brands, builders, and players – not just the most visible.
- Global Perspective, Local Substance: We think at scale but earn respect locally. Every city, every club, every Spotlight should contain something you can only get by going deep.
- Raise the Standard: Padel’s growth is outpacing its infrastructure. The industry deserves better tools, better information, and a platform as good as the sport itself.
One platform. The whole padel ecosystem.
World Padel Network connects players, clubs, coaches, communities, and businesses through verified data and curated editorial across 30+ countries. Whether you’re looking for somewhere to play in a new city, a coach to train with, or a business partner for your next project — it’s all in one place. We built the infrastructure the sport’s growth deserves.
A name the industry can rely on.
World Padel Network® is a registered trademark in the United Kingdom and the European Union. In a sport growing as fast as padel, that protection matters — for the clubs, coaches, and businesses who partner with us, and for the players who use the platform to make decisions. It’s one more signal that we’re building something built to last.
Editorial that goes deeper.
The padel industry moves fast. World Padel Network tracks it — through club and coach Spotlights, city guides, industry interviews, and The Cortado, our weekly briefing covering the news, moves, and people shaping global padel. Curated, not aggregated. Written to the standard the sport deserves.
Global by design. Local by instinct.
Padel’s growth looks different in every market. World Padel Network covers 30+ countries and publishes in four languages – because the padel community in Dubai, Buenos Aires, Stockholm, and Barcelona all deserve the same quality of information, with genuine local knowledge behind it. We think at a global scale and earn trust at a local level.

Jamie Rowe
Jamie discovered padel after moving to Barcelona and experienced first-hand how the sport connects people across backgrounds and borders. That observation became World Padel Network. His background is in Digital Marketing and Operations & Growth, with experience at a global pharmaceutical company based in London and at an award-winning digital marketing agency in the US. His favourite shot is the lob – the only shot he can hit (somewhat) consistently.
Samuel Clucas
Currently based in London, Sam has a 9-year agency background and experience managing high-profile international partnerships across sport, music, and digital retailing. He’s a keen padel player, and you’ll find him at padel clubs in London and nearby (when there’s court availability … ). He’s always up for a chat.
