Great Britain teams set for the 2025 FIP Euro Padel Cup Final 8
• 2 MINUTE READ
The Great Britain women’s and men’s teams have been announced for the 2025 FIP Euro Padel Cup Final 8, with no changes from the squads that qualified earlier this year.
The FIP Euro Padel Cup Final 8 brings together the top padel nations from across the continent to compete for the chance to be crowned European champions.
The Final 8 will take place from 21-25 October at the La Linea de la Concepcion, Cadiz, Spain.
Teams will compete in two groups of four teams in a round-robin format, with the top two nations from each group progressing to the semi-finals.
Great Britain women’s and men’s teams reached the competition after topping their respective groups at the Qualifiers in Madrid back in July. The GB women’s team come in as the No.5 ranked team and the men’s as No.7.
They will have to battle it out alongside some of the best teams in the world, including Spain, Italy, Portugal and France.
In the women’s team, Aimee Gibson and Catherine Rose lead the side – both currently ranked inside the world’s top 100. The ever-experienced Tia Norton and teammate Lisa Phillips also played a big role in GBs run in qualification, including important wins against Sweden in the group-deciding tie.
On the men’s side, the partnerships of Christian Medina Murphy and Sam Jones, as well as Louie Harris and Alex Loughlan will be hoping to build on their 100% win records from Madrid.
Several players made their GB debuts this year, including Loughlan, Tom Farquharson, Jamie Lobo, Rosie Quirk and Laura Jackson.
