PPA to host international padel tournament in BGC – BusinessWorld Online
THE Philippine Padel Association (PPA) proudly presents FIP Silver Reap Manila, taking place from May 21–25, 2025 at Manila Padel Club in Bonifacio Global City (BGC) . This groundbreaking event is the first-ever FIP Silver tournament in Southeast Asia and now stands as the largest international padel competition in the region’s history.
Organized by Asia Padel Events (APE) this tournament is delivered in close cooperation with PPA and Manila Padel Club, the Philippines’ first and most prominent padel venue.
A total of 128 players from over 20 different countries will battle it out across the Men’s and Women’s Open categories, competing for a €15,000 prize pool and up to 80 FIP ranking points. Among them are Top 100-ranked international players, who will compete side-by-side with local Filipino athletes — a proud moment for Philippine padel.
“Hosting Southeast Asia’s first FIP Silver tournament is a defining moment for the sport in the Philippines,” said Alenna Dawn Magpantay, president of the PPA. “We’re honored to welcome the world to Manila and to showcase just how far the sport has come — from one court to the global stage.”
APE, in collaboration with FIP, continues to build momentum across the region. “We are proud to cooperate with FIP and its official member federation in the Philippines to bring a Silver-tier event to Manila. This tournament reflects our shared vision to elevate padel in Asia.”
Running alongside the professional draw is the Asia Challenger Series, an amateur competition supported by Babolat and the Rafa Nadal Academy. Open to players across Asia, the Challenger is designed to give amateur athletes a competitive platform and the chance to earn ranking points while experiencing the energy of an international event.
