Ale Galán and Adidas: A Renewed Partnership Taking Padel to New Heights

Premier Padel, and maintaining the world number one ranking for three consecutive years.

This past weekend, Galán was crowned champion of the Major of Rome at the iconic Foro Italico. The padel star will continue to represent the three stripes, wielding the Metalbone racket and proudly displaying the adidas logo on the world's top courts.

Bjoern Gulden, CEO of adidas, welcomed Galán at the company's headquarters in Nuremberg, marking a significant milestone in the history of padel. The contract renewal not only strengthens the relationship between Galán and adidas but also highlights the German brand's ongoing commitment to padel.

Ale Galán becomes the first player in this sport to be included in adidas's exclusive "universe of the chosen," equating him with legends like Muhammad Ali, Stan Smith, and Zinedine Zidane. This distinction ensures that his legacy remains in adidas's historical archives, which house the most important items from the brand's athletes. To commemorate this special occasion, Galán donated the racket with which he won his first professional title to the adidas archive, the Adipower ATTK 1.8. This gesture symbolizes not only his personal and professional journey but also the growth and significance of padel in the international sports arena. Galán expressed: “It is an honor to remain associated with a brand like adidas, a global sports reference. To visit the headquarters and see my first adidas racket sharing space with objects from true sports legends is something I never imagined.”

adidas's commitment to padel continues to grow, and with Ale Galán's renewal, the brand is dedicated to taking this sport to new heights.

From The District Pickleball & Padel, exclusive adidas distributor in Canada, we want to congratulate Ale Galán on this renewal and his continued success.
