French Tennis Federation

Official website

Pickleball in France is governed by the Fédération Française de Tennis (FFT, founded 1920 as the Fédération Française de Lawn-Tennis), the same multi-sport federation that runs tennis, padel, beach tennis and courte paume. FFT integrated pickleball into its statutes in January 2024 and received the French Ministry of Sport's official delegation for pickleball by decree of 22 December 2025 (published 31 January 2026), valid until 31 December 2029 - meaning only FFT-organised competitions count for official French champion titles and national team selection. By August 2025 roughly 750 FFT-affiliated clubs already offered pickleball; more recent counts put practice at about 30,000 players, 3,500 pickleball licensees and around 850 clubs. FFT runs French championships (e.g. the 2026 French pickleball champions were crowned in Aix-en-Provence) through its regional leagues and départemental committees, alongside its existing tennis/padel structure.
