Professional Padel in the Netherlands
The Dutch national teams are further ahead than the Dutch professional list: in 2025 both the men and the women topped their groups in Madrid to reach the Final 8 of the FIP Euro Padel Cup, where they met Spain, Italy, France and Portugal. That reflects a very large amateur base — around 3,570 courts, among the biggest in Europe — feeding a competitive structure inherited whole from the national tennis federation. 48 Dutch players hold a world ranking, most on the FIP circuit. Rotterdam hosts a Premier Padel P1, one of the larger events on the calendar by prize money.

Read the full historyDutch Padel — Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the highest-ranked Dutch padel player?
Youp De Kroon is the highest-ranked Dutch man, at world #123, and Marcella Koek is the highest-ranked Dutch woman, at world #82. Both positions update every week with the official tour rankings.
See the full Netherlands ranking →What have Dutch padel players won?
Marcella Koek is the only Dutch player to have won a professional title in our records — FIP Silver Pingyuan in 2026. (women)
Marcella Koek’s profile →Which Dutch padel players are competing this week?
7 Dutch players are in a tournament draw this week, at FIP Silver High Velocity Bangkok and FIP Silver Budapest Open II. Every name is listed further up this page, with each player’s world ranking.
Dutch players competing this week →Where can I see the latest results for Dutch padel players?
On this page. It tracks completed matches involving ranked Dutch players across the professional tour — the tournament, the round, the opponents and the set scores — and updates as results come in.
Latest results →Are there professional padel tournaments in the Netherlands?
Yes. The next professional tournament staged in the Netherlands is FIP Silver Houten (21–27 Sep, Houten).
Tournament details →How many Dutch players are included in the world padel rankings?
48 Dutch players hold a world padel ranking — 30 men and 18 women. All of them are listed on this page, with their world rank, points and weekly movement.
Every ranked Dutch player →How many padel courts are there in the Netherlands?
Around 3,570 courts, which places the Netherlands among the fifteen largest padel nations in the world and far above what its population alone would suggest.
Who governs padel in the Netherlands?
The KNLTB, the national tennis federation. That gave padel access to an established club estate and a ready-made competitive structure, and allowed courts to be added at clubs that already had members and facilities.
Why is padel so popular in the Netherlands?
The country is dense and flat with short travel distances, which makes club catchments viable; the climate favours the covered facilities padel operators build; and a strong existing culture of club-based amateur sport gave the game a social template.
Has the Dutch padel market overbuilt?
Analysts generally group the Netherlands among the more durable markets, on the basis of genuine demand and a club-linked build-out rather than speculative standalone development. The pace has been quick, though, and much of the capacity is recent.
Do Dutch players compete internationally?
Yes, though the professional pipeline lags behind the country's infrastructure. That sequence, where courts and participation come first and elite players follow, is normal in fast-growing padel markets.
