Monte-Carlo, April 28, 2025 — In the glittering principality of Monaco, where ambition and luxury converge, the third edition of Padel Best Village unfolded at the Grimaldi Forum, transforming the iconic venue into a vibrant nexus of sport, business, and philanthropy.
Organized by the Italian firm BSG SRL under the auspices of the Italian Embassy in Monaco, this two-day event, which concluded Sunday, drew a cosmopolitan crowd of athletes, entrepreneurs, and dignitaries from across Europe and beyond, affirming Monte-Carlo’s singular role as a crucible for innovation and culture. The event’s alchemy lay in its seamless blend of competitive fervor and professional synergy, with the Givova Five Padel Cup’s five tournaments commanding the spotlight. Victories went to Ligita Motiejauskaite and Iza Kunat in the VIP Woman category, Giorgio Lanucara and Nicolò Campo in Italy-France, Roberto Pastore and Marco Gottardo in Sponsor & Partner, Vincent Candela and Gigi Di Biagio in VIP Man, and Marco Della Maria and Lorenzo Liverani in the Inclusive division, their triumphs broadcast to a global audience of spectators and media.
Off the courts, discussions on sports innovation, sponsorship, digital marketing, and investment in padel—a sport surging in popularity—underscored its economic promise. The closing gala at Twiga, hosted by Dario Marcolin and Jimmy Ghione, was both a celebration and a call to action, raising €4,156 through a charity raffle for Fight Aids Monaco, a cause championed by H.S.H. Princess Stephanie, with prizes donated by sponsors. Roberta Ceccarelli, Padel Best’s CEO, hailed the event as a testament to sport’s power to unite and inspire, thanking participants and partners while pledging to build on this success. Marcolin, reflecting on the growing camaraderie among attendees, positioned Padel Best Village as a vital force in fostering collaboration and excellence.
In an era when sport increasingly bridges divides, this Monte-Carlo gathering stands as a model of how competition, commerce, and compassion can converge to create something enduring.
