In response to the catastrophic floods that have ravaged the Valencia region, Playtomic, the world’s largest community for racket sports, has launched ‘Unidos por Valencia’ (United for Valencia) — a virtual padel club aimed at raising critical funds for flood relief. Through this innovative initiative, Playtomic invites padel players and enthusiasts worldwide to join the effort, with 100% of proceeds going directly to Cruz Roja (Red Cross Spain) to aid Valencia’s recovery.
The flash floods have devastated Spain’s third-largest city, causing significant loss of life and millions in damages. With affected communities and sports clubs across the region, the full impact of the disaster is still unfolding. In this time of crisis, Playtomic’s virtual padel club provides a way for the global padel community to come together in solidarity with Valencia by booking virtual courts. Each reservation fee directly contributes to Cruz Roja’s vital relief operations, supporting those in urgent need.
In addition to this fundraising initiative, Playtomic is extending a helping hand to the region’s sports clubs as they rebuild. All affected clubs in the Valencia area will benefit from a 12-month waiver on platform fees, easing financial strain as they work to restore their facilities. This support underscores Playtomic’s commitment to the padel community, particularly in a region that has embraced the sport with passion.
“Our thoughts are with everyone affected by the floods, and we’re committed to supporting recovery in any way we can,” said Pablo Carro, co-founder of Playtomic. “By joining the virtual padel club, players from around the world can unite to help Valencia, a city that has played an integral role in the growth of our sport.”
