FIP Euro Cup 2025: Draws made for Phase 2 including Great Britain
• 2 MINUTE READ
Great Britain's men's and women's teams now know their opponents in the FIP Euro Padel Cup this weekend following Thursday night's Phase 2 draw in Madrid.
Both GB teams must finish top of their respective groups in order to qualify for the Final 8 later this year, when big guns Spain, Italy, France and Portugal enter the competition.
| Men's - Group C | Women's - Group A |
| Great Britain | Sweden |
| Monaco | Great Britain |
| Switzerland | Poland |
| Greece | Austria |
Men's
GB's men, who were among the top four seeds in Phase 2 by virtue of their seventh-placed finish at last year's European Championships in Sardinia, have got what they might consider a favourable draw in Group C.
They have avoided Belgium, who were perceived to be the most dangerous nation in the second pot of seeds, and instead drew Monaco, as well as Switzerland and Greece (who qualified from Phase 1 by virtue of a dramatic win over Austria).
In last year's Euros, Monaco finished third in a group which also featured Spain and Germany. GB faced Switzerland in last year's group stage and were 3-0 winners with all three matches wrapped up in straight sets.
Women's
GB women, who were in the second pot of seeds after finishing 10th in last year's European Championships, have been handed a tough tie with Sweden, as well as match-ups with Poland and Austria (who qualified as comfortable group winners from Phase 1).
Britain's clash with Sweden on Sunday morning is likely to be critical to deciding top spot in the group. The two nations also met in last year's group stage, where Sweden were 3-0 winners, although two of the three matches went to a deciding third set.
Sweden's Carolina Navarro Bjork, considered to be one of the best female players of all time, is not in their squad this year following her retirement at the age of 49.
Phase 2 of the FIP Euro Padel Cup begins at 9:00 BST on Friday. You can watch live coverage on the FIP YouTube channel, live scores at padelfip.com and get daily round-ups here on the LTA Padel website.
