In the heart of Portugal, something truly special happened — the official launch of PTPICKLE, the movement bringing together players, clubs, and everyone passionate about pickleball.

It was more than a tournament. More than a day of matches.

It was the celebration of a growing community, united by values of inclusion, sportsmanship, and shared passion.

Seeing players of all ages and levels on court together — smiling, competing, encouraging each other — was the clearest sign that we are building something meaningful.

Thank you to everyone who made this launch so special.

To the clubs who believe in the mission. To those who dream of a stronger, more connected pickleball community across Portugal.

This is just the beginning.

#PTPICKLE is in play — and the future looks bright!
