Philippines to host third edition of the Asia-Pacific Padel Cup

The Philippines in the APPC 2025

Continental padel action is set to come to the Philippines, with the third edition of The Asia-Pacific Padel Cup taking place on June 25-28 at Play Padel McKinley in Taguig.

Hosted by Padel Pilipinas, the recognized national sports association for padel in the country, the APPC will bring together ten teams from seven countries, as they compete both in Professional and Amateur levels.

Unlike conventional padel competitions, whether in the Asia-Pacific Padel Tour or elsewhere, the APPC runs on collective results from all three categories: male, female, and mixed. All matches will have corresponding points that will register in the overall team standings, turning each rally into something that matters beyond the ongoing scoreboard.

The Philippines is the defending champion of the competition, emerging as winners last year in Kuala Lumpur. To mount a successful title defense this year, Padel Pilipinas will need to fend off four teams in both Professional and Amateur levels:

Professional Category
●    Padel Society Korea (South Korea)
●    PadThai Padel Thailand Team (Thailand)
●    Ace Padel India Team (India)
●    Prescott Development Team (Pakistan)

Amateur Category
●    göpadel (Chinese-Taipei)
●    Wolves Korea (South Korea)
●    The Racquet Garden Brunei Padel Team (Brunei)
●    Prescott Development Team (Pakistan)

In the case of Chinese-Taipei and Brunei, both countries are making their APPC debut, highlighting the continued rapid growth of padel across Asia. Meanwhile, both South Korea and Pakistan make their return trips to the competition after debuting last year.

Action will take place at the Taguig facility of Play Padel, which is the biggest padel facility in the country, located at Chateau Road corner Lombard Street in McKinley West. For those who are unable to watch in person, the matches will be streamed, with details to be confirmed on the APPC's official social media channels.
