DUBAI: The Mashreq Padel Tour, the UAE’s first dedicated community tournament series for amateurs, is set to make its Abu Dhabi debut this month.
The UAE Padel Association confirmed the sixth round of the year-long championship will take place from Oct. 13-15 at Al-Forsan International Sports Resort.
