The APP announced today another addition to its 2023 international slate, a partnership with Pickleball Salamanca to become the promoting partner of the 2023 Spanish Open powered by The APP, held September 1-3 in Salamanca, Spain.
This year’s event marks the eighth edition of the Spanish Open, previously held annually in Madrid as one of the premier pickleball tournaments in all of Europe. The 2023 Spanish Open powered by The APP will be the APP’s fourth international tournament partnership of the calendar year – joining events in England, Sweden and India – and further reiterating the organization’s commitment to support the growth of pickleball worldwide.
The 2023 Spanish Open powered by The APP will host a variety of events and clinics throughout tournament week in Salamanca, including traditional singles, doubles, and mixed doubles brackets in the age groups U-14, U-18, 19+, 50+ and 60+ at skill levels 2.5 through 5.0. Competition will take place on more than 30 total courts across two adjacent venues: Campo de Tiro y Deportes de Salamanca and Polideportivo Río Tormes.
“The APP has a firm commitment to grow pickleball worldwide, so we’re pleased to partner with Pickleball Salamanca for one of Europe’s premier tournaments of 2023,” commented APP Founder Ken Herrmann. “Spain has a passionate pickleball fan base – as demonstrated by eight years of hosting the Spanish Open – and the APP is proud to support the game in Spain as global stewards for the game of pickleball. We look forward to a fantastic event in Salamanca, a place with a rich and vibrant cultural history.”
