Padel, an emerging racket game that connects elements of tennis and squash, was recently unaware of Pakistan’s sports industry. However, it is now gaining significant popularity among the country’s youth, athletes and even celebrities.
Played in a small, connected court, the strategic aspects of the pedal squash combines the rapid nature of tennis. Usually played in doubles, the game encourages social interactions and teamwork, which makes it a fun and entertaining activity for players of all levels. The court is about three -quarters of the tennis court volume and includes walls from all sides, allowing players to hit the ball after the bounce, which includes an interesting layer of complexity.
As one of the fastest growing sports worldwide, Padel is gaining rapid traction in Pakistan. New facilities are being developed, and competitive opportunities are coming out, especially in major cities like Karachi. With its growing popularity and growing interest, Padel is ready to become an important part of Pakistan’s sports landscape in the coming years.
In the pedal, the service is under -arram, and the server should bounce once before hitting the waist at the waist height, before hitting it. This service is supplied as a result and should land in the opposing service box like tennis. The ball should be bounced before hitting the walls on any side, but the players can return the shot to the village, even after that or from the back walls. The matches are played in the best set format, with a similar score of tennis.
The pedal is played with a small, hole paddle, which is slightly heavier than the tennis racket. The ball has a lower pressure and a slow bounce than the tennis ball, which increases the unique style of the game.
Despite its relatively high price, the demand for pedal courts in Karachi is much higher than the current supply. The growing popularity of the game has given rise to various local initiatives, including the establishment of new facilities in the city. Recently, the Pakistan Peoples Party, with the inauguration of Karachi Mayor Barrister Murtaza Wahab, visited a newly constructed pedestrian facility at Bag-A-Ibin-Qasim and searched for the spread of Karachi. This facility is part of the Sindh government’s widespread efforts to revive public places and promote healthy lifestyles among the residents of Karachi.
Industry challenges and opportunities
Moodsar Razzaq Arrin, senior vice president of Pakistan Pedal Federation, talked about the emerging status of the game in Pakistan. “Padel is an interesting game that combines squash and tennis,” he said. “This is becoming increasingly popular among the elite, especially, but we also see some serious players wanting to make a career in the game.”
However, Modisar also highlighted concerns about Pedel’s commercial in Pakistan. He explained, “Many unregistered courts are not properly licensed, and the focus has changed from developing skills to make money.” “Some tournaments are being organized even illegally, without affiliation with the Pakistan Pedal Federation, which creates more complications for sports development.”
Despite these challenges, hope is the reason. Madassar pointed out that an emerging skill, Pakistan’s Aziz Khan recently gained internationally in the game, which has identified an important milestone for the country.
“The international ranking of Aziz Khan is a huge achievement for us,” Moodsar said. “This shows that Pakistani players can compete globally, and this is a great source of pride for the whole country.”
Looking forward to: Development Plans
Modisar Erin emphasized that when some new facilities have been built, many focuses on generating revenue rather than promoting capabilities primarily. “Our aim is to identify intelligent players, especially those from backgrounds who cannot afford expensive courts,” he said. “Our goal is to provide free access to the pedestrian for those who need it most.”
In the coming months, the Pakistan Pedal Federation plans to host the national tournament, which begins on April 11. “Our aim is not only in Karachi, but to promote the capabilities of Pedal in Pakistan,” he said, adding that the Federation is also working to get host rights for the international program. However, he emphasized that many newly constructed courts in the country have failed to meet international standards.
“Our Federation is talking with the Sindh government to rebuild the pedestrian courts for international explanations.” “Once this work is done, we will be in a better position to host the International Pedal Events in Karachi.”
Waiting, Aryan and his team are focused on providing opportunities for talented players from low -income background. “We are committed to offer free access to Pedal Courts and create training programs for young players,” he said. “By June, we intend to bring foreign coaches to help us identify and nurture capabilities.”
As the game grows in Pakistan, Arin hopes about its future. He concluded, “Pedal has the wealth of unused capabilities.” Our aim is to provide young players with the opportunity to train without financial obstacles. This is just the beginning, and with constant help, we can put Pakistan on the map as a big player in the international pedal. “
