AFP Courts, a leading division of AFP Group, is set to make waves in the padel industry with the launch of the new adidas PPL High Competition, the official court of the Pro Padel League (PPL).
This state-of-the-art court will debut at the 2025 Padel World Summit, taking place from May 27th to 29th at Fira de Barcelona. The event will bring together industry leaders, professionals, and enthusiasts to explore the latest advancements in padel, with AFP Courts taking center stage to unveil its latest innovation.
The adidas PPL High Competition represents a significant leap forward in padel court design, engineered to improve the playing experience for both amateur and professional players. The court’s sleek, minimalist structure eliminates corner pillars, creating an open and visually striking space that enhances gameplay while providing optimal sightlines for spectators and broadcast coverage. Designed to meet the rigorous standards of the Pro Padel League, this model underscores AFP Courts’ commitment to delivering top-tier quality and performance.
Key features of the adidas PPL High Competition include:
- Maximum 360º visibility for tournaments, television broadcasts, and live streaming, offering a clear, unobstructed view of the court. This elevates both the playing and viewing experience for audiences, whether in person or via broadcast, while also facilitating more dynamic camera angles for televised matches.
- Exclusive AFP Turf for Elite Performance: AFP Turf is the official playing surface of the 2025 PPL Engineered and produced entirely in-house, this high-performance turf redefines standards for padel courts. Featuring next-gen texturized monofilament fiber, it delivers unbeatable grip, consistent bounce, low maintenance, and long-lasting durability—making it the ideal surface for fast, dynamic play. Trusted by pros, amateurs, and investors alike, AFP Turf is officially certified by the Instituto de Biomecánica de Valencia (IBV) under UNE 147301:2018.
- High Competition Modular Linear LED Lighting: The court is illuminated by a Modular linear LED Lighting system (4x500W), guaranteeing visual clarity and match-point accuracy. Strategically positioned to provide even lighting without causing glare, this system ensures consistent visibility for both day and night matches.
- Curved Lighting Pillars: The adidas PPL High Competition introduces exclusive curved lighting pillars, a design feature that not only reduces glare but also enhances the visual appeal of the court. This innovation further reinforces AFP Courts’ emphasis on both form and function.
- Optimized structural design and assembly for quick installation and disassembly of the court, ideal for both temporary and permanent venues, as well as top-tier sports facilities such as the PRO PADEL LEAGUE or national and international padel tours.
- Exclusive branding for the Padel World Summit and launch of the new PPL season, featuring franchised team logos and top adidas players.
- PPL Golden finishing on the most prominent parts of the court, such as mesh-reinforced pillars and upper structural ring, offering maximum resistance in a premium court with a refined and elegant design.
- Official PPL Padding and Protections, designed to prioritize player safety and enable peak performance.
- Upper and Lower Structural Rings: The 2025 court introduces an upper ring made from a 3mm folded steel sheet with integrated glass-fixing tabs, providing enhanced structural stability—especially important in courts without corner pillars. The new full-perimeter lower ring improves alignment and anchoring, contributing to the overall rigidity of the structure and optimizing performance when paired with the Try & Buy portable system.
“We are excited to present the new adidas PPL High Competition, a state-of-the-art court that embodies our commitment to setting new standards in padel court design,” said Jorge Caña, Co-CEO at AFP Courts. “With its panoramic views, lightweight structure, and high competition features, this new 2025 model delivers an unmatched playing, viewing, and broadcasting experience.”
AFP Courts will celebrate this milestone with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the Summit on Wednesday the 28th, attended by prominent figures from the American professional league and representatives from its franchised teams. It will serve as a kickoff for the new PPL season, which will begin in June this year.
