The spread of padel is no longer limited to sports clubs, but has extended to many sports facilities and complexes, which have provided integrated environments for playing the game, supported by organizing community tournaments, leagues, and training programs that have attracted increasing numbers of amateurs and enthusiasts. Specialists attribute this turnout to the ease of learning the game, the speed of its matches, and its social character that combines competition and entertainment, in addition to its suitability for all ages and fitness levels, which has helped expand its base of practitioners in the Holy Capital. Padel sport has also contributed to stimulating sports investment through the expansion of specialized facilities, providing job opportunities in training, organization, and operation, as well as supporting economic activities related to sports equipment and auxiliary services, reflecting the growth of the sports economy in the Kingdom. This expansion comes in line with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030 aimed at increasing the proportion of sports participants and improving quality of life, as Mecca continues to diversify its sports options, establishing the concept of sport as a lifestyle, enhancing community participation in physical and health activities, alongside providing modern sports environments that meet the needs of various groups. // End //21:36 T M 0107
