Belgische Padelvereniging / Association Belge de Padel (Padel Belgium)
The padel federation in Belgium · Belgian Padel Association (Padel Belgium)
The first Belgian padel federation was created in 1992; the body currently governing the sport, the Belgian Padel Association (Padel Belgium), was newly founded in 2022 and is FIP's recognised Belgian padel member. It is a dedicated padel-only association (not run by the tennis federation) led by a president (Olivier Buchet) and board, and it delegates day-to-day running to two regional leagues split by language: Padel Vlaanderen (Flanders, Dutch-speaking) and Padel Wallonie-Bruxelles/TPWP (Wallonia and Brussels, French-speaking). Padel Belgium organises national competitions (the Lotto Belgian Padel Tour, Junior Belgian Padel Tour, Belgian Championships), a national ranking, and national junior/adult/senior teams for European and World Championships. It publishes yearly club/court/member statistics by region (Flanders vs Wallonia) but the figures were not extractable from the page's static HTML (rendered as animated counters).
Getting a licence
A licence is needed to play official padel competitions in Belgium.
Managed through the two regional leagues (Padel Vlaanderen or Padel Wallonie-Bruxelles) rather than centrally by Padel Belgium; no national online sign-up page or price was found on padelbelgium.be itself.
Competitions and rankings
From the federation’s own website and its international federation, checked in September 2026.
