Padel Without Borders

Join MSF for a friendly padel tournament in the form of an americano: a short match in which you change partners for each game and each player accumulates individual points.
The aim? Have fun on the court and try to finish top of the leaderboard!
Whether you're an experienced player or a novice, this tournament is the perfect opportunity to spend some time under the sun, in aid of a good cause!
Get ready, registration for Padel Without Borders will open on the 19th of May!
Why participate in Padel Without Borders tournaments?
MSF is active in areas where medical assistance is needed. Our teams are mobilised to provide medical equipment and care to victims of war, natural disasters, pandemics or those deprived of access to medical care. 98% of our work is made possible by donations, which is why we need your help!
By taking part in our padel tournament, you'll be contributing to MSF's cause while having a great time with your friends and family around the courts.
