PTPICKLE - Associação de Pickleball de Portugal

The pickleball federation in Portugal · Portuguese Pickleball Association

PTPICKLE, the Associação de Pickleball de Portugal, was founded in 2025 as Portugal's first national associative structure for the sport. Its stated objectives are to direct, organise, regulate and oversee the practice of pickleball nationally, promote both competitive and leisure play, train sports agents (coaches/officials), represent affiliated members before public administration, represent Portuguese pickleball at international sporting bodies, and field national teams - while pursuing formal 'pessoa coletiva de utilidade pública desportiva' (public-utility sports body) status, which it does not yet hold. It runs the Portugal Pickleball Tour (PPT, a national tournament circuit with its own calendar), a national championship (singles and doubles), and a national team that took part in the 2026 World Championship.
