Stupa Sports today announced its strategic entry into the rapidly growing sport of padel through its first ever engagement with an International Padel Federation (FIP) sanctioned event. In a technology partnership with Asia Padel Events (APE), Stupa Sports will serve as a key technology partner for the upcoming FIP Silver Hong Kong, taking place from November 11-15, 2025.
Padel has seen a meteoric rise in global popularity, with the FIP Tour establishing itself as the premier circuit for elite and emerging talent. As the tour expands its international footprint, the need for robust technology to enhance officiating, broadcast quality, and fan engagement has become increasingly crucial. Stupa's entry into this ecosystem highlights the growing significance of data and analytics in professionalizing this emerging sport.
The centerpiece of this technology partnership is the deployment of Stupa Cast, Stupa's flagship AI-driven analytics and broadcast solution, set to revolutionize the viewing experience for padel fans. For the first time on the circuit, Stupa Cast will deliver an unprecedented layer of real-time statistics, including smash winners, errors, and serve percentages, and dynamic graphical overlays directly into the FIP's official YouTube channel broadcast. Complementing this advanced analytics engine, Stupa Sports will provide comprehensive, multi-camera streaming coverage for both the primary and secondary courts, ensuring fans don't miss a moment of the action.
Deepak Malik, Founder & COO of Stupa Sports, stated: “We are thrilled to make a mark in the world of padel by partnering with Asia Padel Events for this prestigious FIP Tour event. This move aligns perfectly with our vision of becoming a multi-sport technology leader. By introducing our proven analytics and broadcast solutions to one of the world's fastest-growing sports, we aim to set new benchmarks for how padel is played, officiated, and experienced by fans globally.”
The Hong Kong event will serve as a powerful showcase for the future of professional padel. With Stupa's advanced technology and APE's event expertise, this collaboration is set to demonstrate how cutting-edge analytics and professional broadcasting can transform the sport, setting a new benchmark for FIP Tour events worldwide.
