From 8 to 12 July 2026, Koksijde is hosting a FIP Silver that gives Belgian padel a rare place on the international calendar. Split between Theaterplein and Tennis en Padelclub Koksijde, the event features men’s and women’s draws during an especially busy week on the CUPRA FIP Tour.
An international stop on the Belgian coast
Koksijde is more than a sequence of matches. It gives Belgium a sporting showcase while several FIP events are being played simultaneously across Europe and beyond. The official programme takes both draws through to the finals on Sunday 12 July, with matches divided between the centre court at Theaterplein and the club courts.
This two-site setup gives the tournament a distinctive identity: a visible city-centre event supported by a club facility able to handle a demanding schedule. On Friday 10 July, play starts at 10 a.m. at both venues, according to the organisers.
Federal information is available from Tennis en Padel Vlaanderen and Padel Belgium, the Belgian federation affiliated with the FIP.
A tournament connecting the Belgian scene to the FIP circuit
Silver-level events matter in the construction of an international season. They award FIP points and attract pairs looking for ranking progress, match rhythm and a stronger position in a fast-moving hierarchy. In Koksijde, the top men’s seed listed in the official draw is Juanlu Esbri and Pablo García Rodrigo, while Belgian players also competed in qualifying.
For Belgian padel, the value therefore goes beyond the headline names. Hosting an event of this category allows local players to face international opposition without leaving the country, while giving spectators direct access to a level of competition that is not available every week in Belgium.
Schedule, draws and practical information
Full coverage is available on the official FIP event page and the tournament website, where the schedule, men’s and women’s draws and orders of play are published.
During a week packed with international stops, Koksijde gives Belgium more than a tournament: it creates a meeting point for local players, foreign pairs, federations and the public. The weekend will decide who turns that exposure into points, but the country has already gained visibility.
