Qatar Tennis, Squash, Padel and Badminton Federation (QTF)
The padel federation in Qatar
Padel in Qatar is governed by the Qatar Tennis, Squash, Padel and Badminton Federation (branded to FIP as the 'Qatar Padel Federation'), a single federation covering all four sports, presided by H.E. Nasser bin Ghanim Al-Khelaifi (re-elected by acclamation for a new four-year term in November 2024). Its qatartennis.org site is run around tournament news (mainly the tennis ATP/WTA events); padel-specific activity is branded separately as 'Qatar Padel' on social media and via qatarpadel.com. Al-Khelaifi is also chairman of Qatar Sports Investments' Premier Padel tour, and Qatar has hosted major professional padel events (Premier Padel Finals, Qatar Major) at the Khalifa International Tennis and Squash Complex, alongside a growing private padel-club scene (e.g. Padel In Qatar, operating since 2019).
