Alexforbes Partners with Padel to Launch Corporate League

Alexforbes has partnered with Namibia Padel to establish the Alexforbes Padel Corporate League. This initiative is set to enhance fitness, foster team spirit and provide valuable networking opportunities among corporate teams. The league will culminate in a full-day final event on Saturday, 26 October 2024.

Sponsorship and participation details

Alexforbes has committed N$ 70,000 to sponsor the league. Entries for the league close on 26 July 2024, with an entry fee of N$2,000 per team. Matches will be held between 20:00 and 22:00 during the week. The finals day, scheduled for Saturday, 26 October 2024, will be an all-day event. Rental rackets will be available free of charge, and teams are required to wear their own corporate team attire.

A growing sport with a growing community

Padel is currently the fastest-growing sport in the world, and Namibia Padel has been instrumental in promoting this exciting game in the region. The sport has quickly become a platform for building friendships both on and off the court. The dynamic rallies and strategic gameplay captivate players and spectators alike, creating a vibrant community around the sport.

Dickson Vambe, partner of Namibia Padel, expressed his enthusiasm, saying, ‘Namibia Padel has received an incredible welcome as it has not only introduced the love of the new game but has fast created a platform for building lifelong friendships both on and off the court. Beside the exciting rallies and clever tactics that keep us hooked, it is the connections we forge and the bonds we build with each match. We are privileged to have a partner like Alexforbes who has walked the journey with us from conceptualisation to when we served the first ball.’

Looking forward

Alexforbes’s involvement has been pivotal in setting up the much-anticipated Corporate League, starting next month. The partnership has also helped Namibia Padel reach nearly 2,000 members through the Namibia Padel App within just eight weeks of its launch. Vambe added, ‘We are extremely excited to continue this journey with Alexforbes as we bring more heart-pounding tournaments, and development series throughout the year that bring the community together.’

Stéfan du Preez, Managing Director of Alexforbes Namibia, commented on the partnership: ‘At Alexforbes, we are committed to promoting wellness and community engagement through innovative and exciting initiatives. The Alexforbes Padel Corporate League is a perfect example of how sports can unite people, foster team spirit, and create lasting connections. We look forward to seeing the positive impact this league will have on the corporate community in Namibia.’
