Federação Portuguesa de Padel (FPP)

The padel federation in Portugal · Portuguese Padel Federation

The Federação Portuguesa de Padel (FPP) is a dedicated, padel-only federation (FIP member since 2005) whose stated mission is to organise and oversee padel competitions nationwide and to promote the sport across Portugal. It runs national rankings and competitions across categories (Absolutos, Jovens/youth, Veteranos), a schools programme (Padel Escolar) and a youth programme (Padel Jovem), national teams (Selecções), court homologation, and training/certification for coaches (treinadores), referees (árbitros) and club officials (dirigentes), plus a compulsory federal insurance policy for registered players. Competition management, rankings, club affiliation and player registration run through a third-party platform (TIE Sports/tiepadel.com) rather than the fppadel.pt site itself.

Getting a licence

A licence is needed to play official padel competitions in Portugal.

Registration ('filiação') is done online through the FPP's affiliation platform, which also provides mandatory federal insurance for registered players; no price is published on the FPP site itself.
