Kings of Padel: World No. 1 Duo Arturo Coello & Agustín Tapia to Headline “Padel All Stars” – India’s First-Ever All-Star Exhibition

Mumbai, August 24, 2026: India is set to witness a historic sporting milestone as PadelPark India officially announces “Padel All Stars.” The landmark, one-night-only exhibition will bring the world’s undisputed No. 1 padel duo, Arturo Coello and Agustín Tapia, to Indian soil for the first time.

On Saturday, 29 August 2026, the iconic Dome SVP Stadium (NSCI), Worli, Mumbai, will host one of India’s most anticipated premium sports and lifestyle spectacles, expected to have over 4,000 spectators. Tickets for this landmark event are available exclusively on the District app, with demand expected to be exceptionally high and the event likely to sell out quickly. The event is promoted by PadelPark India and produced by Percept Live, presented by Godrej City Panvel, co-presented by Vedanta Group; Experience Partner HSBC, Luxury Partner Kérastase, co-powered by CentreCourt; and Associate Partner PL Capital. The exhibition further reinforces India’s emergence as a premier global destination for world-class padel.

Following the sport’s recent recognition as an official medal sport at the Asian Games, the event reflects its unprecedented growth across the country, now home to a thriving community of more than 100k+ active players.

Padel All Stars is engineered as a high-octane lifestyle experience. Attendees can expect a world-class padel exhibition match, thrilling appearances by top Indian players competing on court, and much more. Adding to the excitement, they will be playing alongside and against two internationally ranked professional players, Alfonso Sanchez and Anton Sans, bringing an added level of skill, intensity and global sporting calibre to the evening. The event is expected to welcome celebrated stars alongside leading corporate leaders, entertainment personalities, and distinguished members of India’s sporting fraternity, creating an unparalleled atmosphere of glamour and excitement.

Reflecting on the milestone, Jigar Doshi, Co-Founder of PadelPark India, shared, “For the past 3 to 4 years, we’ve watched padel grow in India, court by court, city by city. Padel All Stars is the moment it goes from a movement to a mainstage – because when the world’s No. 1 pair, Arturo Coello and Agustín Tapia, choose to play here, the world starts paying attention. We’re deeply grateful to Arturo and Agustín for believing in this vision and making India part of their journey. This is not just an exhibition match; it’s a signal that India has arrived on the global padel map, and an invitation to the next generation to pick up a racket, start playing, and compete in India’s fastest-growing sport.”

Uraaz Bahl, Godrej City Panvel, commented, “Godrej City Panvel is proud to be the Presenting Partner of Padel All Stars, bringing the world’s No. 1 padel duo, Arturo Coello and Agustín Tapia, to India. As padel becomes a part of the Godrej City Panvel community, this partnership goes beyond supporting a sporting event – it reflects our commitment to creating new and exciting sporting experiences and bringing them closer to the communities we build.”

Ankit Agarwal, Vedanta Group, said, “As someone who plays padel myself, I can say firsthand that this sport has a way of pulling you in with the speed, the strategy, the sheer fun of it. To now see Arturo Coello and Agustín Tapia, the two best players in the world, coming to play in Mumbai is a moment many of us in the Indian padel community have been waiting for. We’re proud to be part of bringing this experience to the country.”

As Padel continues its remarkable rise across India, Padel All Stars represents far more than the country’s first opportunity to witness the world’s No. 1 duo compete live. It marks a defining moment in the sport’s journey from a niche recreational activity to one of India’s fastest-growing sporting disciplines. Driven by expanding infrastructure, increasing participation, and growing investment, India is rapidly emerging as a significant market within the global padel ecosystem. Through Padel All Stars, PadelPark India celebrates this achievement, reinforces India’s position on the international padel stage, and inspires the next generation of players to embrace the sport.
