The Emaar Dubai Premier Padel P1 reaches its Grand Final on Sunday 15 November at Hamdan Sports Complex, with play from 5pm under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Chairman of the Dubai Sports Council. Eight days of competition end with the women’s and men’s finals, with €479,068 in prize money and 1,000 FIP ranking points for the winning pairs.
We are planning to be in the stands. This is the first edition with Emaar as title partner, the field includes Agustín Tapia, Federico Chingotto, Alejandro Galán, Delfi Brea and Bea González, and tickets start from AED 45, which makes it one of the best value days of world class sport in the city this season.
Who we want to see
Agustín Tapia and Alejandro Galán are two of the most watched players in the sport, and both have spent seasons at or near the top of the men’s rankings. Federico Chingotto is known for his speed and defence, the kind of player who turns a lost point into a twenty shot rally. On the women’s side, Delfi Brea and Bea González bring power and reach. The draws will decide who makes Sunday, but any final involving these names promises long rallies, smashes off the back glass and the kind of crowd noise that padel generates better than almost any racket sport.
The women’s final opens the programme on centre court, followed by the men’s final, so arriving early means seeing both.
The arena and the experience
Last year the organisers turned Hamdan Sports Complex into an indoor padel arena seating more than 7,000, described as the largest in the MENA region. Iván Modia, chief executive of Gallop Global and tournament director, has said he wants a visit to feel like a full day out, with hospitality, premium experiences and family activities around the matches. This year the tournament has also introduced what it calls the World’s Most Iconic Padel Court, open to players and the public.
Emaar’s arrival as title partner adds weight. “Emaar is delighted to support the 2026 edition of Dubai Premier Padel P1 as title partner,” said Ahmad Al Matrooshi, Executive Director of Emaar Properties. The tournament is also supported by the Dubai Sports Council, the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism, the UAE Padel Association and the International Padel Federation.
Why it matters for Dubai
Padel has grown quickly in the UAE in recent years, with courts in clubs, hotels and residential communities across Dubai. A P1 event, one level below the Majors on the Premier Padel calendar, gives those weekend players the chance to watch the professionals at close range. As the stage before the Mexico Major, Dubai also carries real weight in the ranking race at the end of the season.
For us, the appeal is also the setting. Hamdan Sports Complex sits on Emirates Road opposite Global Village, so a Sunday at the final can easily stretch into an evening nearby, and the tournament welcomes guests from the age of five, which makes it a realistic family outing rather than an adults only event.
