The Federación Internacional de Pádel (FIP)[1][2] (English: International Padel Federation) is the world governing body for the sport padel, founded in 1991 in Madrid by the Argentinian, the Spanish and the Uruguayan Federation legal representatives. It is a non-profit making organisation whose goal is to promote all forms of padel around the world. It organizes the Padel World Championship for male and female players.

The FIP administers the Premier Padel men's professional circuit and rankings,[3] while a separate governing body, the World Padel Tour, organises a tour of the same name[4] with men's and women's events and its own rankings system.
