Announcing a Pickleball Cup Promotional Tour to the UK


Caracas, Venezuela – March 17, 2025 – The Venezuela Pickleball Association and Pickleball Federation of the Americas (PFA) are proud to announce that Leonardo Stango, President of the Venezuela Pickleball Association and a board member of the PFA, will embark on an ambassadorial trip to UK from March 18 to April 20, 2025. The tour aims to foster international collaboration, engage with key pickleball leaders, and promote the upcoming Americas Pickleball Cup (www.pickleballcup.com).

During his month-long journey, Stango will meet with influential pickleball players, national associations, and Global Pickleball Federation representatives to drive awareness of PFA leadership activities and the Americas Pickleball Cup.

“Pickleball is experiencing unprecedented growth worldwide, and fostering relationships across continents is crucial to its continued success,” said Stango. “This trip is an opportunity to share the energy and vision of the Americas Pickleball Cup with players and organizations, encouraging greater participation and international cooperation.”

The Americas Pickleball Cup, scheduled for December 16-20, 2025, in Cancun, Mexico, represents a major milestone in international pickleball. It will bring together top players and national teams from across North and South America, and Stango’s European tour will play a key role in building anticipation and attracting global interest.
