The Timeless Passion Padel Series continues its journey across the global iGaming calendar with the announcement of the Timeless Passion Padel Tournament – Malta Edition 2026, taking place on Tuesday, 28 April 2026 during SBC Summit Malta week.
After the strong reception of the inaugural tournament held in Barcelona ahead of ICE, the initiative now moves to Malta with the same objective: creating an environment where the iGaming community can connect through sport, shared experiences, and genuine networking outside the traditional exhibition setting.
Industry professionals are invited to participate either as players or guests, making the tournament an open gathering for operators, providers, suppliers, and partners attending the Malta event week.

From Barcelona Success to Malta Momentum
The first edition of the Timeless Passion Padel Tournament in Barcelona proved that the concept resonates strongly with the industry.
Dozens of professionals joined the event ahead of ICE, turning a simple sports idea into a memorable networking experience. What stood out most was the atmosphere: competitive matches on the court combined with relaxed conversations around it.
The positive response confirmed that there is real value in creating industry moments that happen outside meeting rooms and exhibition halls.
With SBC Summit Malta bringing the iGaming ecosystem together once again, the Malta edition continues that momentum and builds on the success of the Barcelona launch.
