Pirelli launched the official Padel league to the UAE and supported another high-octane sport by sponsoring the World Padel Academy (WPA) – Pirelli event, which runs from now until December in three venues around the UAE. The tournament’s first round, which took place from August 19th to August 21st in WPA Al Qouz, began last weekend.
Pirelli has been committed to supporting all types of sports and promoting safety in all forms for decades, and the WPA –Pirelli competition reaffirms the elite tyre manufacturer’s dedication to advocating a healthy lifestyle through this fascinating activity within the UAE community. Pirelli’s project offers the thrill of motorsport to padel, for a sport that has gained significant momentum in the UAE.
Pirelli will conduct many activities over the next competitions to remind people about the importance of tyre safety in adverse weather. Pirelli will offer a T-scan at the tournament venues, providing spectators with a free tyre inspection and comprehensive status report while highlighting the need of a T-scan. The T-scan uses laser technology to provide a computerised report on the condition of the tyres. With the T-scan, which includes a quick tread depth scanner, alignment diagnostics, and the capacity to measure over 600 points across the tyre with precision, the report tells clients the state of the car’s tyres as well as the braking distance. Pirelli is the only brand in the UAE that uses this cutting-edge, one-of-a-kind tool.
The Pirelli tournament will take place over the next five weekends on the dates below, with sites to be announced via Pirelli’s social media channels:
