About us

From the industry.
For the industry.

Racket Sports Germany is run by a team that knows the sport from the inside – from the court, the club, court construction and sports marketing. We wanted to create the place we had always been missing.

Our story

Why we're doing this fair.

Padel and pickleball are growing faster in Germany than any other sport. New facilities, new brands and new clubs appear every day. Yet anyone who wants to get informed, compare or connect has to travel across Europe – or work through dozens of separate conversations.

We wanted to change that. Racket Sports Germany brings manufacturers, operators, clubs, investors and the community together in one place – compact, personal and on equal terms. In 2027 as the Founding Edition, and a little bigger every year after that.

What we stand for

Hands-on

Content and formats by people who build, run and play on courts.

Brand-neutral

A neutral platform – every brand, association and provider is welcome.

Community first

Business and the fun of the game belong together – no community, no market.

Quality over size

Better 50 relevant exhibitors than 500 random ones.
