Who governs padel in Saudi Arabia?TrustPadel

There is no recognised governing body for padel in Saudi Arabia at present. The Saudi Tennis Federation has shown interest in racquet sports, but no official padel federation has been established. Until one is formed, venue operators and private organisations effectively manage the sport.

How do padel prices compare with neighbouring countries?TrustPadel

Because padel is so new in Saudi Arabia (264 venues), price benchmarks are difficult to draw. In nearby UAE and Bahrain, court hire typically ranges from £15 to £40 per hour. Saudi prices, where available, are likely to be similar or slightly higher, reflecting broader premium pricing, but the limited supply may drive costs up until competition increases.

Are padel courts indoor or outdoor in Saudi Arabia?TrustPadel

Due to the extreme heat, most padel courts in Saudi Arabia are planned or built indoors or in semi-covered, air-conditioned facilities. This is consistent with other outdoor sports in the region. Currently, the 781 courts across 264 venues are predominantly indoor or shaded to allow year-round play.
