Padel Courts in Nigeria

Nigeria has 5 padel venues and 10 courts across the country, making it one of the least developed padel markets in West Africa. The sport is still in its infancy here, with no public facilities currently listed on TrustPadel.

The absence of courts is largely down to high import costs for padel equipment and limited awareness among potential players. However, Nigeria's strong tennis culture, large youth population, and expanding urban middle class make it an attractive prospect for future padel developers. Early investments in cities like Lagos and Abuja are expected to trigger rapid growth.

For now, anyone eager to play padel in Nigeria should keep an eye on this page for new listings, contact local racket clubs to gauge interest, and consider travelling to neighbouring countries where courts already exist. The padel scene here is a blank canvas, and you could be part of its foundation.

Is there a national governing body for padel in Nigeria?TrustPadel

There is currently no national padel federation recognised by the International Padel Federation. This means the sport lacks formal development and sanctioning. Without a governing body, growth is slower, but international organisations often step in to provide training and homologated courts.

How do padel prices in Nigeria compare with neighbouring countries?TrustPadel

Because there are no padel venues in Nigeria yet, there are no local court hire prices to compare. In West African countries with padel facilities, such as Ghana, court hire typically ranges from $30 to $60 per hour. Once courts open in Nigeria, prices are likely to be comparable or higher due to import costs.

Are padel courts in Nigeria indoor or outdoor?TrustPadel

There are currently no padel courts in Nigeria. When courts do appear, they will likely be outdoor installations initially, as the warm climate suits outdoor play. Indoor padel centres are capital-heavy and usually follow once a sport has an established player base.
