Padel continues to establish its presence in Mecca, after witnessing a wide spread in recent years, driven by the expansion of specialized courts and the increase in the number of practitioners from various age groups. It has become one of the most prominent sports in the daily sports scene, contributing to spreading the culture of physical activity and improving the quality of life.

Its presence has extended beyond sports clubs, as many facilities and sports complexes have provided equipped courts to receive players, along with organizing community tournaments, leagues, and training programs that have attracted an increasing number of amateurs and enthusiasts.

Specialists attribute the growing popularity of padel to its ease of learning, fast-paced matches, and social nature that combines competition and entertainment, as well as its suitability for different ages and fitness levels, which has led to an expansion of its practitioner base in the holy city.

Support for sports investment

The impact of padel's spread has not been limited to the sports aspect, but has extended to stimulating investment in the sector, 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 support services, reflecting the continuous growth of the sports economy in the Kingdom.

This expansion aligns with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030, which aims to increase the percentage of people practicing sports and enhance the quality of life. Mecca continues to diversify its sports options, enhancing the concept of sports as a lifestyle, expanding community participation in physical and health activities, and providing modern sports environments that meet the needs of various groups.
