The FIP World Cup Pairs marks one of the most important events in the international padel calendar. Organised by the International Padel Federation (FIP) and integrated into the Premier Padel calendar, this competition is held every two years and crowns the official men’s and women’s world champions in padel.

Unlike regular tour events, the FIP World Cup Pairs offers a unique opportunity: only one men’s and one women’s pair will lift the title and carry the distinction of World Champions for the next two years. The tournament follows the same professional standards and rules as Premier Padel Majors, featuring many of the sport’s top-ranked players from around the world.

Format and Significance

The event gathers the best pairs from the FIP Ranking, competing through main draw stages from the Round of 64 to the final. Matches are played in the traditional Premier Padel format, ensuring high-intensity action from the first day to the last.

Winning the FIP World Cup Pairs brings more than ranking points and prize money — it delivers a title of global prestige. The champions will be recognised as the best pair in the world until the next edition, with their names engraved in the official record of FIP world champions.

Ranking Implications

Although the FIP World Cup Pairs has its own symbolic weight, the competition also distributes ranking points towards the official FIP Rankings. In the women’s category, the race for No. 1 remains mathematically open, but Gemma Triay and Delfi Brea could close it with a title win and an early exit (R16 or before) of their rivals Ariana Sánchez and Paula Josemaría. In the men’s draw, the battle remains wide open, so Coello and Tapia won’t be able to secure the No.1 yet even if they win the tournament.
