Former football star Carlos Tevez is expanding his sporting interests, announcing the opening of a padel club in Bella Vista, Buenos Aires. The complex, named “Apache 32 padel,” is set to officially open to the public on March 30th.
A New Venture for the Argentine Legend
Tevez, currently the coach of Talleres de Córdoba, is partnering with Bullpadel Argentina on this project. The initiative aims to support young padel players in their athletic careers and provide them with essential life skills.
“Ya estamos por abrir la primera academia en Bella Vista. Creo que lo más importante es sacar jugadores para el alto rendimiento del pádel, que va cambiando a cada año.”
The complex will feature indoor courts and comprehensive services for players.
The Apache 32 Project: A Solidary Initiative
The project, known as Apache 32, is a collaborative effort between Tevez and Bullpadel to build clubs and academies. Tevez expressed his enthusiasm for the project, stating:
“Bullpadel me contactó por parte de un amigo que tenemos en común. Después empezamos a planear cómo abríamos las academias, cómo le dábamos un impacto grande a Bull acá en Argentina. Estoy muy contento porque se va haciendo realidad algo que pensábamos hace mucho.”
The goal is not only to develop high-performance padel players but also to equip young people with the tools they need to succeed in life.
Joining a Growing Trend
Tevez is among a growing number of former football players venturing into the world of padel. Ezequiel Garay has also recently opened a large padel complex in Spain, demonstrating the increasing popularity of the sport among former professional footballers.
