A popular milestone at Tour & Taxis
The Lotto Brussels Premier Padel P2 2026 didn’t just fill the stands: it put Brussels in a different league. With 89,500 visitors expected from Tuesday to Sunday, the fifth edition confirms that the Belgian leg is no longer a mere fixture on the calendar, but one of the most visible events on the Premier Padel circuit.
The Tour & Taxis Maritime Station played its part to the full as an indoor venue. From April 19 to 26, 2026, the tournament combined qualifying, main draw, day and evening sessions, with the CBC Central Court as the sporting heart and the Lotto and Nextensa courts accessible free of charge for part of the week. This choice gave the public several doors: the spectacle of the world’s best pairs, but also a wider experience around the Padel Village, catering, brands and entertainment.
Above all, this attendance figure reflects a fundamental trend. In Belgium, padel is no longer just a fast-growing club sport: it’s also becoming an event product capable of attracting families, the curious, businesses and enthusiasts alike. This level of attendance places Brussels among the most attractive venues on the calendar, with a capacity to attract far more than just a specialist audience. In Brussels, the organizers have succeeded in combining high-level competition with a city outing atmosphere, without slackening the tournament’s sporting base.
Finals to match the crowds
Popular success found a real contract extension on the track. On the men’s side, Juan Lebrón and Leandro Augsburger produced one of the week’s highlights, upsetting Arturo Coello and Agustín Tapia, the reference pair on tour, 2/6 6/3 6/3. After a first set dominated by the number ones, Lebrón and Augsburger changed the tempo, tightened up the game at the net and picked out better areas in the hot moments.
On the ladies’ side, Bea González and Paula Josemaría confirmed their dominance by defeating Delfi Brea and Gemma Triay 7/5 6/2. Their victory adds a new dimension to this year’s event: Brussels offered a big match-up, the intensity of a final and a clear reading of the current balance of power on the women’s tour.
For the public, these finals had an obvious advantage: they didn’t just crown two pairs, they gave a sporting story to an already successful week off the court. In a P2 tournament, this consistency between attendance, level of game and final scenario counts a great deal in the memory of the event.
A strong signal for Belgian padel
The week’s other important image came from the Belgian camp. Clément Geens, partnered by Frenchman Dylan Guichard, reached the round of 16 after an impressive first-round victory over Isaac Huysveld and Miguel Lamperti. Beaten later by Franco Stupaczuk and Miguel Yanguas, the Belgian player nonetheless offered the local public a strong benchmark: a national representative capable of existing in the intensity of a Premier Padel draw.
This link between the world’s stars and the local public is precisely what makes the Brussels leg so valuable. With almost 90,000 people visiting the site, the tournament gives visibility to Belgian players, clubs, partners and amateur practice. For Belgian clubs, already driven by a strong demand for courts and training facilities, such exposure can also nurture new vocations. The message is clear: Brussels is no longer just home to the world of padel, it’s also helping to accelerate the game in Europe.
