Padel news: Racquet 360 secures $9million funding round to accelerate US padel expansion
The United States’ premier integrated platform for the modern racket sports industry has announced the successful completion and deployment of a $9million funding round.
Finalised in Q4 2025, the funding round attracted a strategic mix of sports focused private equity funds, angel investors and family offices, including Sunrise Padel Capital (Miami, FL), Profluence Capital (St. Petersburg, FL) and Taktika Equity (San Diego, CA).
Unlike traditional funding announcements, Racquet 360’s raise was strategically timed to accelerate momentum for milestones already in motion.
The capital has already been fully deployed to scale the company’s core business units, resulting in immediate market traction and a projected revenue increase of more than 300 percent in 2026.
A proven model for expansion
The capital raised allowed Racquet 360 to achieve significant milestones that set the foundation for scaling growth and capitalising on the rapid rise of padel in the U.S. The $9 million infusion directly supported the launch and expansion of four primary pillars:
The National Padel League (NPL): Solidified its position as the premier amateur padel team competition in the U.S., hosting more than 1,900 players last season.
RacquetX: Entering its third year in Fort Lauderdale this week, the leading festival of racquet sports in North America recorded 70 percent year on year growth, serving as the “town square” for the global racket sports community.
Racket Central: The company’s dedicated digital and retail arm achieved a staggering 300 percent year on year growth, capitalising on the surge in consumer demand for padel and pickleball equipment.
Racket Social Club: The experiential club arm has expanded rapidly to four locations, including a flagship club in Houston and a major acquisition in Atlanta, a 20 acre property featuring 30 courts.

Capitalising on the US padel boom
“This was a strategic raise because we were on the right trajectory and had the milestones to prove it,” said Emiliano Abramzon, CEO of Racquet 360.
“The U.S. padel market is at an inflection point, and this capital allowed us to accelerate the growth of platforms we had already proven in the market.
We’ve now built the foundation across leagues, events, media and clubs, and we’re excited to scale that ecosystem as the sport continues to grow in the U.S.”
Investors back long term vision
“Our investment in the National Padel League and three Racket Social Clubs reflects our conviction in what Racquet 360 is building, a connected ecosystem where players compete, connect and grow the sport together,” said Sunrise Padel Capital Managing Partner Diego Campos.
“The amateur player is the backbone of padel’s growth, and these businesses sit right at the heart of that. We're proud to be invested in key parts of this story.”
As the macro environment for racket sports continues to show explosive growth, Racquet 360 remains positioned as a key architect of the U.S. padel ecosystem.
While this round is closed and the funds have been deployed, the company remains open to strategic partnerships with investors who share its vision for the future of the sport.
