Prince Albert II attended the opening ceremony of the European Police Padel Cup at Fort Antoine, welcoming ten nations including Monaco to the inaugural tournament.
His Serene Highness Prince Albert II officially opened the inaugural European Police Padel Cup on Wednesday, 16 September, at the Théâtre du Fort Antoine. The competition brings together police forces from ten nations for a historic first edition of the tournament, organised by Monaco's Association of Public Security Sports in partnership with the Union of European Police Sports.
Monaco's police team faces a demanding group stage, drawn alongside France, Spain and Sweden, three nations with established padel traditions. The tournament format pits national police forces directly against one another in a sport that has grown rapidly across southern Europe in recent years.
Matches will take place at the Beausoleil sports complex just across Monaco's northern border. Results from the group stages will determine which teams progress as the competition continues through the week.
