Padel in Cyprus: Clubs, Courts and Competitions

Today, dozens of specialist clubs operate on the island, with indoor courts and academies opening, amateur leagues being held, and national ranking competitions and international tournaments taking place. Limassol has the widest choice of venues, but padel is also developing rapidly in Nicosia, Larnaca and Paphos.

Why padel has become popular in Cyprus

Cyprus’s climate makes it possible to play on outdoor courts for most of the year, and padel itself is relatively easy to learn at a beginner level. A standard game is played two against two, so the sport has quickly become popular as a way to meet up with friends, train regularly and play corporate matches.

At the same time, padel has long since moved beyond the amateur level. Players train with coaches, take part in in-house club leagues, national competitions and international tournaments.

The number of venues gives a good indication of how much the sport has grown. In the Limassol area, specialist directories list more than 20 clubs and over 80 courts in 2026; in the Larnaca area, there are more than a dozen clubs, while Paphos has around eight venues.

Who is developing padel in Cyprus

The official competitive padel system in the Republic of Cyprus is developing under the auspices of the Cyprus Tennis Federation. The federation organises national competitions, maintains a player ranking and is involved in developing the national team.

This makes it possible to move gradually from playing casually at a club to taking part in official competitions. Beginners and amateurs have separate tournaments and categories, while stronger players can compete in the ranking system.

Competitions and the national ranking

The CTF Padel National League is held in Cyprus. Tournaments take place at venues belonging to different clubs, and participants earn national ranking points.

For example, in 2026 one of the National Padel League events was hosted by The Padel K in Limassol. This means that major commercial clubs also serve as venues for official competitions.

FIP international tournaments

Cyprus also hosts competitions organised by the International Padel Federation. In 2026, FIP Bronze and FIP Silver tournaments with men’s and women’s draws were held in the Republic of Cyprus.

For spectators, these competitions are an opportunity to see padel played at a much higher level, while for stronger players they offer a chance to compete in the international ranking system.

Amateur tournaments

You do not need to be a professional to take part in competitions. In 2026, the Powerade Cyprus Padel Cup is being held, with categories for Low Beginners, High Beginners, Intermediate, Women and Mixed Couples.

Clubs also organise their own tournaments and social games. This is a convenient format for anyone who has already learned the basics and wants to try competitive play against opponents of a similar level.

How to get started

Standard padel is played by four people, in two pairs. You usually do not need to buy your own racket for your first game: many clubs offer equipment rental.

If you have no experience at all, it is useful to start with a coach. A few sessions will help you understand the serve, court positioning and the main difference between padel and tennis: the use of glass walls during rallies.

If you do not have a group to play with, large clubs often run group sessions and social games, and help players find partners of a similar level.

Moving on to competitions

You can start with club games and amateur tournaments for Beginners. More advanced categories and Cyprus Tennis Federation national competitions are available after that.

For stronger players, the next step is ranking tournaments and FIP international competitions. This means that in Cyprus, you can choose padel as either a one-evening pastime or a full-fledged competitive sport.
