Until next Sunday, our city is hosting the “Argentina Padel Tour”, with the tournament named “Concordia Padel Master”, which is being held at the new facilities of the World Padel Center Concordia complex.
For this reason, a press conference was held this Thursday afternoon, where details were provided about the competition that positions our city in the national padel circuit, as around a hundred top-level players will participate.
Mayor Francisco Azcué highlighted first and foremost what it means for our city to host such an important tournament, as it not only brings sporting benefits but also promotes tourism and places Concordia on the national sports calendar.
“In our administration, sports are a tool for inclusion, transformation, and development, which is why we will always support all activities promoted in the city.”
The Mayor also highlighted the commitment and significant investment made so that Concordia has a complex with these characteristics that allows for hosting a top-level tournament. “As a State, we must create conditions so that there are people who decide to invest in the city,” he remarked.
Lisandro Borges, president of the Argentine Padel Association and CEO of Argentina Padel Tour, indicated that the arrival of this date in our city comes because “an entrepreneur decided to make an investment and be part of the annual calendar, which is composed of thirteen dates and we are already planning 20 for next year,” noting that currently, padel “is the second fastest-growing sport in Argentina and the world.”
The Undersecretary of Sports, Ivana Pérez, for her part, stated that “events of this nature make sports grow and, consequently, the city as well. We have been working with many programs,” announcing that soon “we will include padel for children in the neighborhoods.
