Curtain comes down on FIP Asia Padel Cup 2025

Doha: The curtain came down today on the inaugural FIP Asia Padel Cup Qatar 2025, organized by the Qatar Tennis, Squash, Badminton, and Padel Federation at the Khalifa International Tennis and Squash Complex in Doha.

Team Qatar’s men’s squad claimed the silver medal, finishing runners-up after a hard-fought 2–1 defeat to the UAE in the final. Australia secured third place and the bronze medal with a 2–0 win over Iran in the third-place match.

In the women’s competition, Japan clinched the championship title and gold medal after defeating Iran 2–0 in the final. Indonesia earned the bronze medal with a 3–0 win over Australia in the third-place playoff.

The awards ceremony took place at the specially prepared padel courts at the Khalifa Complex, in front of a large and enthusiastic crowd, marking a successful conclusion to the first edition of the continental event.

Qatari player Mohammed Saadon Al Kuwari expressed pride in his team’s silver-medal finish, saying:

“Reaching the final and earning silver in the first-ever Asian Championship is a great achievement. Padel is still relatively new in Qatar — introduced only about eight years ago — yet we have already made major regional strides and now rank second in Asia.”

He also praised the event’s organization, adding:

“Qatar once again delivered an exceptional tournament on every level, which reflects its unmatched organizational capabilities.”

Teammate Rashed Nawaf said the team had aimed for gold but remained proud of the overall performance:

“We were targeting the title, but we fell short in the final against the UAE. Nevertheless, the experience was invaluable, and the progress we’ve made as a team is something to build on.”

Meanwhile, Hassan Wali, another member of Team Qatar, emphasized that securing second place was a significant milestone for Qatari padel:

“We put on a strong display throughout the competition and came away with silver despite fierce competition from top Asian teams. This result is an important step forward for the sport in Qatar.”

The success of the inaugural FIP Asia Padel Cup Qatar 2025 reinforced Qatar’s growing role as a leading hub for international padel, combining world-class organization with elite athletic performance.
