As padel continues to grow into a truly global sport, the demands placed on court infrastructure have never been higher. From the padel circuits to the Hexagon Cup and Padel events, one thing is clear: professional players expect top-tier courts built for elite competition.
High-stakes tournaments aren’t just about thrilling rallies and rankings. They’re about creating the perfect technical environment for the world’s best players to perform. And the court itself plays a starring role.
So, what are the key specifications of a tournament-ready padel court? And how does Portico Sport deliver on those expectations?
1. Certified components for optimal performance
Tournament organizers require courts built with certified glass, steel, and turf that meet the strictest padel international standards. The goal is to ensure consistent ball response, player safety, and professional-level durability.
At Portico Sport, all components are 100% European-made and selected for their performance in top-tier competition. That’s why our courts are trusted by the Hexagon Cup, one of the most prestigious team-based padel events in the world.
2. High-performance playing surface
Professional padel matches are fast-paced and technical. Players demand a surface that supports controlled sliding, reliable bounce, and excellent grip. The synthetic turf used must meet precise density, height, and abrasion standards — a feature Portico Sport integrates into every premium build.
3. Reinforced Glass Walls with Superior Visibility
All tournament courts feature 12mm tempered glass, engineered for clarity and shock resistance. This not only enhances safety and gameplay but also ensures a premium experience for spectators — both in-stadium and on broadcast.
Portico Sport’s glass panels are impact-tested and competition-grade, offering the same specifications you’ll see at international tournaments.
4. Advanced Lighting Systems
Evening matches are common in tournament schedules. That’s why lighting must be uniform, anti-glare, and shadow-free. Proper illumination is essential for player performance and spectator enjoyment.
Portico Sport offers custom lighting integrations tailored to the needs of tournament courts — with precision angles and LED systems that highlight gameplay without disturbing visibility.
5. Engineered for weather and spectators
Whether hosted in open-air stadiums or high-profile indoor arenas, padel tournaments require courts that are built for structural resilience and adaptable performance. Factors like UV exposure, temperature shifts, humidity, and wind load must all be considered — especially in outdoor settings. Indoors, space optimization, acoustic balance, and lighting control become key.
Portico Sport designs and manufactures courts for both indoor and outdoor tournaments, using weather-resistant materials, high-grade coatings, and precision engineering to guarantee reliable performance — no matter the setting.
Our canopy systems and open-air roof structures also allow for climate-controlled outdoor experiences, combining comfort with competition-level standards. Whether it’s sun, rain, or indoor spotlight — your court is ready.
