Dubai, UAE – September 9, 2024: Gallop Global, the organisers of this November’s first-ever Dubai Premier Padel P1 tournament, today confirmed Dubai Duty Free has joined the inaugural event as an Official Sponsor.
With the first-ever Dubai Premier Padel P1 event taking place November 3 -10 at Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium in Garhoud, the sponsorship agreement will see the emirate’s groundbreaking new padel tournament team up with a major homegrown brand synonymous with decades of sports and retail experience to elevate both the event and the city’s reputation as a leading host for major international sporting competitions.
Part of the newly unified 25-event Premier Padel tour, which spans 18 countries across five continents this year, Dubai Premier Padel P1 will feature the world’s top male and female players contesting a prize pool of €470,000 (Dh1.89 million).
