Padel’s growth has been explosive — but is it ready for the Olympics? In this episode, Sandy and Tom dive deep into one of the sport’s biggest questions: when will padel become an Olympic sport? Drawing from their recent experiences at the FIP Euro Cup and years of involvement in international tournaments, they break down what still needs to happen for padel to make that leap.

From governance and global participation to youth development, gender balance, and the business of club growth, they explore the challenges and milestones shaping the sport’s evolution from a passionate community game to a professional global movement.

Whether you’re a club player, coach, or fan following padel’s rise, this episode gives a real look behind the scenes at what it takes to reach Olympic status.
