The International Padel Federation’s global circuit, the FIP Tour 2025 (formally the CUPRA FIP Tour), is intended to foster talent and provide ranking opportunities at different competitive levels. Four primary categories comprise the tour’s structure:
FIP Tour Categories (2025)
| Category | Ranking Points (Winner) | Prize Money Range | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| FIP Platinum | 300 points | €120,000–€150,000 | Highest-level FIP event outside Premier Padel; attracts top-ranked players |
| FIP Gold | 150 points | €50,000–€80,000 | High-level competition with strong international fields |
| FIP Silver | 80 points | €15,000–€30,000 | Mid-tier events; formerly known as FIP Star |
| FIP Bronze | 40 points | €7,000–€10,000 | Entry-level international events; evolved from FIP Rise |
Key Changes in 2025
Simplified structure: Silver and Bronze were created by merging or rebranding older categories such as FIP Star, Rise, and Promotion.
More competitions: A 40% increase from 2024, more than 160 events are planned worldwide.
Greater reach: Kazakhstan, South Africa, and Vietnam are among the new host nations.
Impact on rankings: Player seeding and tournament access are influenced by points gained, which are part of the FIP global rankings.
