REGISTRATION OPENS JULY 15TH
The FIP Promises Tour is the international junior padel circuit organized by the International Padel Federation (FIP), the global governing body for the sport. It serves as the primary competitive pathway for young players — from under-12 through under-18 — to develop, earn world rankings, and compete on an international stage.
"Promises" reflects the tour's identity: these are the sport's rising generation, competing for the first time under the same international framework that governs professional padel worldwide.

The tour operates at two levels. The FIP Promises Continental Tour consists of regional events held across each of FIP's four continental zones — Europe, the Americas, Asia, and Africa. Players earn continental ranking points at each event, with results determining entry into higher-tier competition. The FIP Promises World Tour brings together the best players from each continent, with allocated entry slots per region ensuring global representation.
At the end of each season, top-ranked players qualify for the FIP Promises World Tour Finals, a prestigious year-end championship. The top finishers also receive Promises Awards — financial scholarships to support their continued development and wild card invitations to professional CUPRA FIP Tour and Premier Padel events.

USPA (the United States Padel Association, or USPA) — the national governing body for padel in the United States and an affiliated member of FIP — actively hosts FIP Promises events on U.S. soil. The first FIP Promises event of 2026 was held at Woodlands Padel in The Woodlands, Texas, where American juniors claimed all-American finals in both the U18 and U16 divisions. Previous events have been hosted in Chicago and Miami.
For American juniors, competing in FIP Promises events is the gateway to international ranking, national team selection, and the professional game.
