The Dubai-based padel academy will introduce a dedicated Al Jalila Foundation court, alongside charity tournaments, community events and fundraising initiatives to support healthcare programmes.

World Padel Academy (WPA) has announced a partnership with Al Jalila Foundation to support healthcare initiatives through community engagement, charitable giving and sport.

The collaboration will introduce a dedicated Al Jalila Foundation-branded padel court at WPA’s Dubai venue. It will also bring together players and the wider sporting community through charity tournaments, fundraising activities and community events.

Additionally, a donation programme is expected to launch soon, providing players and visitors with further opportunities to contribute to the foundation’s work.

Through the partnership, WPA aims to use its growing padel community to raise awareness of healthcare initiatives and encourage greater participation in charitable giving.

Alongside the branded court, WPA plans to organise a series of charity tournaments and community activities designed to bring people together in support of healthcare.

Ali Abdulla Al Arif, CEO of World Padel Academy, said:

We look forward to bringing our community together in support of its mission and establishing a partnership that creates lasting value.”

Al Jalila Foundation supports healthcare, education and research

Al Jalila Foundation supports Dubai Health’s vision to advance health for humanity, bringing together care, learning, discovery and giving.

Its programmes help provide treatment for patients, support the development of future healthcare professionals and fund medical research across priority areas aligned with national healthcare objectives.

Through its collaboration with WPA, the foundation aims to reach more members of Dubai’s sporting community and encourage wider participation in charitable initiatives.

Dr. Amer Al Zarooni, CEO of Al Jalila Foundation, said:

“Partnerships such as this demonstrate the important role that communities and organizations can play in supporting healthcare and creating meaningful change. We thank World Padel Academy for their support and look forward to encouraging greater community participation in giving, in line with Dubai Health’s vision to advance health for humanity.”

Partnership aims to connect sport with community giving

The collaboration reflects a shared goal of using sport to encourage community participation and support wider health and wellbeing initiatives.

By involving padel players, local partners and visitors, WPA and Al Jalila Foundation hope to demonstrate how sporting communities can contribute to causes beyond competition.

The partnership will officially launch through a series of community initiatives, with further details about upcoming charity tournaments, fundraising events and donation opportunities expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
