Betsson, the premium betting company known for its ongoing support and commitment to sports, has become the official title sponsor of the A1 Padel Swedish Master tournament.
Scheduled from July 10 to 16 in Halmstad, Sweden, the prestigious event will bring together some of the top padel players in the world.
A1 Padel, formerly named APT, was initially scheduled to be held in Båstad, Sweden last year but in a last-minute decision it was relocated to Tenerife. Fortunately, this summer is finally Sweden's moment to host the much-awaited 7-day tournament on the main plaza in Halmstad.
The Betsson-sponsored Swedish Master event offers a prize pool of 1 million SEK ($93,800 / €85,500 / £74,000). Viewers and attendees alike can expect a wonderful show from the pitch as participants include top-ranked players Franco Dal Bianco, Maximiliano Arce and the illustrious star Leo "Tolito" Aguirre.
The tournament is currently spread across 18 different locations in the world including Buenos Aires, Cape Town, Miami and New York, enabling it to surpass even the World Padel Tour.
Christer Garell, CEO of A1 Padel Sweden, said:
"We are delighted to join forces with Betsson as the title sponsor for this summer's biggest padel event. Betsson is one of the operators that has demonstrated most commitment to the sport over the years. Moreover, they are actively involved in South America, the birthplace of many exceptional attending players. I am sure that with Betsson's support, alongside the odds, will elevate the experience for the live spectators as well as those watching the live broadcast on ESPN."
Mattias Wennerkvist, Managing Director of Betsson Sweden, said:
"We are immensely proud to support A1 Padel in Halmstad. As keen followers of the sport, it is an honour for us to be associated with this event, just as we have been for numerous other padel initiative over the years. Our dedication goes beyond mere sponsorship, as we will closely follow the intense action, conduct exclusive player interviews, provide competitive betting odds, and, above all, enjoy the privilege of witnessing world-class padel unfold before our eyes."
Cayetano Rocafort, Betsson's ambassador and winner of two APT competitions in 2021, said: "I have lived in Sweden for five years and witnessed how quickly the sport has developed. The Betsson Swedish Master is another great example of how it's thriving and I'm very excited to see world-class padel players from all over the world."
