(https://www.padelfip.com/national-teams-rankings/) 2024 Japan Women’s Padel Team World Tournament Report [First half of the tournament] Preliminary league After the draw meeting held on October 27th, the day before the start of the match, the 2024 Japanese women’s padel team (hereinafter referred to as “Japan team”) was ranked 3rd in the world, Italy in 6th, Sweden in 6th, and 11th in the world. They will play in the qualifying league in the same group as Uruguay. The first match against Sweden was a very close match with more content than the score showed, but unfortunately we lost 0-3. Although the match against Italy was tough, we were able to secure a stunning 2-1 victory in the final league match against Uruguay. The Japanese team, who had 1 win and 2 losses in the qualifying league, will compete in a tournament to determine 9th to 16th place.

In the match against Chile, Japan showed its tenacity and strength and was able to win 2-0 (last match was W.O.). Next, in the match for 9th to 12th place, they will face Denmark, who are participating in the world tournament for the first time. Although there were many competitive moments, we were unable to overcome and ended up losing 0-2 (the final match was W.O.). Therefore, the final match was for 11th and 12th place. The match for 11th and 12th place will be a rematch with Uruguay, which they played in the league match. As a result of staying focused and not letting up, we were able to win again and secure our position in 11th place. It was a very tough tournament, both physically and mentally, with many close matches as we competed every day. However, the Japanese team was able to significantly improve its ranking compared to its 16th place finish in the previous tournament.

JPA will do its best together with the Japanese national team players and staff to make use of the experience gained through the 2024 international tournament to revive an even stronger and much-supported Japanese national team. We appreciate your guidance and support. Thank you for your support.
