Need4Padel Fest – From a simple idea to the largest padel event in Costa Rica

Volea Padel Club · Escazú, San José, Costa Rica · March 15–16, 2025

The inaugural Need4Padel Fest Summer Edition smashed every target—onsite, online, and on the balance sheet. Organized by Evolution Marketing and StrongW, and powered by Kido as one of the main sponsors with its world-class broadcast team, the event solidified Costa Rica’s position on the international padel map.

Highlights at a Glance

  • Full-house attendance: Every seat taken—and then some—throughout the qualification rounds (March 7–9) and finals (March 15–16).
  • Global livestream: Thousands of viewers tuned in across YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook, with engagement tripling pre-event benchmarks.
  • International voices: The broadcast featured expert insights and global reach. Daniel Gamarra from Spain—renowned commentator from the International Padel Federation and Premier Padel—sent a special video message, participated in an exclusive interview, and was closely involved in supporting the live commentary team. Lina Arciniegas from Colombia and Carlos Chaparro from Spain delivered dynamic, real-time analysis throughout the finals weekend.

“Your coverage conveyed the passion we feel for padel—thank you!”
— Marisel Suárez, Co-owner, Evolution Marketing

What’s Next?

Riding the momentum of this success, Evolution Marketing and StrongW are already planning the Winter Edition. To stay informed about dates and registration, follow their updates on social media.

This event is now officially the largest padel tournament in Costa Rica.

Need4Padel Fest proved that when professional production meets authentic passion, local sport becomes a global story. At Kido, we couldn’t be prouder to help every lob, tray, and smash echo far beyond the glass walls of Volea Padel Club.

Game on—see you at the next serve.

"Marketing, in a snap!" is not just our motto; it's the way we ensure your brand is always a step ahead.
