The European Padel Championships went off without a hitch, thanks in particular to the expertise of the organising committee, chaired by Lieven Kind, with Kurt Van Dam as secretary and tournament director, David Grammenidis (public relations), who secured major sponsors for the Championships, and David Dessaint and his network within the padel community.
The support of around twenty volunteers throughout the week was also vital, as was the outstanding work of the media team, led by Remy Lemaire and photographer Patrick Raeymaeckers, which enabled everyone to follow the matches remotely. Over 21,000 viewers watched the 20 matches on YouTube (an average of 1,000 per match). On site, Thursday and Saturday were the busiest days, with over 200 spectators on each day.
The final day went off without a hitch, with COIB President J-M Saive in attendance at the women’s final, and a flawlessly organised medal ceremony and closing ceremony, followed by a magnificent gala evening.
