Founder's Take: Doha Padel
First-person, unfiltered
Doha's padel scene is smaller than you'd expect for a wealthy city, but it's growing fast. I talked to 5 club owners there in 2024—they all said the same thing: demand outpaces supply by 3:1. The barrier isn't money; it's land. Courts need space, and Doha is tight. Clubs are solving this by going multi-level and outdoor with cooling systems. Smart move.
