Global Sports corporation from India teaming up with the groundbreaking Global Pickleball Alliance to establish the first professional pickleball tour worldwide, aiming to foster growth on a global scale.
The pickleball community has taken a significant stride forward with the formation of a global alliance, bringing together seven leading organizations from around the world. The Association of Pickleball Players (APP), Canadian National Pickleball League (CNPL), European Pickleball Federation (EPF), Australia's National Pickleball League (NPL), Pickleball England, Vietnam's Pickleball D-Joy, and India's Global Sports have joined forces to revolutionize the sport and provide unprecedented opportunities for players worldwide.
This alliance, a major step forward for pickleball, represents unity and pathways that are the lifeblood of any sport. It aims to bring the world's best players to various countries, showcase homegrown talent abroad, and ensure that players everywhere have the support and clarity they need to pursue their dreams.
At the heart of the alliance is a year-round world calendar, inclusive of at least 30 pickleball tournaments in 2026. The tournaments will be designated into three tiers, each with progressive prize pools and point earnings, providing a platform for both elite and up-and-coming pros to shine.
The alliance also aims to establish a cohesive, non-overlapping event schedule, an integrated worldwide ranking framework, graduated prize pools, enhanced business partnerships, and funding for scholarships. This will ensure no scheduling conflicts occur across each organization's premier events, ensuring maximum opportunities to take part in competitions for players.
Moreover, alliance members will work together on cross-promotional commercial opportunities for players and their events, including sponsorship, revenue splits, and a unified governance structure. This collaboration will strengthen the sport's global presence and create a more sustainable ecosystem for professional players.
Megan Fudge, the APP Tour's all-time career medals leader, expressed excitement about the new era of growth for professional players globally. She stated, "This alliance marks a significant milestone in the history of pickleball, opening up a world of opportunities for players across the globe."
With the initial group of participating global pickleball leaders, support for growing the future of pickleball has never been stronger. The alliance is open to welcoming additional organizations to further bolster pickleball's global potential.
In India, Global Sports, a leading pickleball organization, has sparked a nationwide frenzy through innovative coaching, events, and evolving the sport into a lifestyle phenomenon. The alliance's formation underscores Global Sports' commitment to bringing the international pickleball community together, demonstrating a commitment to the sport's growth and development.
As the global pickleball community embraces this alliance, it promises to usher in a new era of competition, collaboration, and growth for the sport. With a unified global rankings system for professional players in the works, the future of pickleball looks brighter than ever.
