Rob Mitchell, Premier Padel’s commercial director, has now said: “This is an exciting time for Premier Padel and we are continually looking at ways to grow the sport globally and make it more appealing and engaging for fans both on and off the court. Our partnership with Betsson will bring a new audience to Premier Padel tournaments and fans will experience new player information and in-tournament insights.”

The inaugural 2024 calendar features 25 tournaments across five continents and 18 countries. It began on February 26 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and will finish in Barcelona, Spain, in late December.

Ronni Hartvig, chief commercial officer at Betsson Group, added: “We are probably the most dedicated betting company out there when it comes to padel, with our extensive experience in sponsoring tournaments and offering one of the broadest ranges of odds in the industry.”

In terms of recent Betsson activity, meanwhile, that brand is now the front-of-shirt sponsor for Italian soccer giants Inter Milan, for the next four seasons, through a deal unveiled in early July.

The company’s Betsson Sport logo now features on the front of the men’s first team shirts for all Serie A, Coppa Italia, UEFA Champions League, and FIFA Club World Cup games.
