What happened at the previous Padel World Cup?
We have to go back to 2022 to remember what was the highlight of that World Cup. Mainly, Argentina won in the men’s category and Spain in the women’s category.
The Spanish girls were unrivalled throughout the World Cup and took the final against Argentina with relative ease. Quite the opposite of the boys: Coello and Galán lost to the Superpibes in two sets.
The next match pitted Momo and Alex against Bela and Sanyo. This match was much more closely contested, and Argentina took it 6-3 in the third set thanks to the veteran skills of the incombustible Fernando Belasteguín and Sanyo Gutiérrez.

It’s still too early to try to guess who will be called up, but Spain may have an overbooking of players. We will see if Argentina bets again on their veterans, who may live their last World Cup.
