Women's Padel Association

Who we are

The global home of women in padel.

Padel is expanding across five continents, and its culture is being written right now. WPA puts women at the center of that story: as athletes, leaders, creators and commercial partners shaping where the sport goes next.

We create women-centered professional and amateur events with our partners, grow Community Chapters with host clubs across the region, develop coaches and industry professionals, and connect brands to women's padel through serious, measurable partnerships.

Our place in the game

Official competition is sanctioned by the International Padel Federation across its tours, including the CUPRA FIP Tour, FIP Promises and FIP Beyond. WPA's professional events are created within that structure, with FIP, national governing bodies and promoters.

Alongside the official calendar, WPA stages its own world of play: amateur competition, Community Chapter leagues and destination experiences open to every level.

Professional players are represented by the International Padel Players Association, our International Player Partner; WPA builds the events, visibility and pathways around them. Everyone plays their position. Ours is the platform.

History made

Founder

"This is about creating a future where women are given the platform, visibility, and professional pathways they deserve."

Alenna DawnFounder, Women's Padel Association

WPA grew out of Alenna Dawn's work building padel in the Philippines and across Asia: founding the Philippine Padel Association, creating women-focused community programming, and developing the events business behind a historic women's professional tournament.

The idea is simple: build the stages, the communities and the commercial platform for women's padel now, while the sport's story is still being written. That is what WPA does, in every market it enters.

Standards

The standard behind the name.

Everything WPA puts its name to is run with the discipline of the institutions we work with: clear standards, clear rights and reporting our partners can rely on.

Verified claims

Every historical, audience and impact claim we publish carries a source and a date.

Safeguarding at every event

Safeguarding standards, welfare provisions and a reporting process are conditions of every WPA-branded event.

Clear partner rights

Published partner designations match signed agreements. Global and event-level rights are kept distinct.

Accountable by design

Independent oversight and an annual impact report, beginning in 2027.

What's ahead

In development with our partners.

Women's Padel Week

A flagship destination platform combining professional competition, amateur challengers, clinics, a leadership forum and community legacy programs.

Women's Padel Series

Women-only sanctioned tournaments delivered with federations and promoters, building on the Manila debut.
