Just days away from their Hexagon Cup debut, Krü Padel by Taktika is set to make waves in the padel world. Backed by football icons Agüero and Messi, this star-studded team led by world No. 4 Federico Chingotto is poised to challenge the established order. As the Madrid Arena prepares to host the tournament from January 29, here’s the latest on this game-changing force ready to serve up a storm in one of padel’s most prestigious events.
As the padel world eagerly anticipates the second edition of the Hexagon Cup, all eyes are on one of the newest additions to the tournament’s roster: Krü Padel by Taktika. With the competition set to kick off on January 29, 2025, at the Madrid Arena, the team backed by football legends Sergio “Kun” Agüero and Lionel Messi is poised to make a significant impact on the padel scene.
Since their announcement in September 2024, Krü Padel by Taktika has been a buzzworthy topic in the padel community. The team, a sports division of Krü Esports, was created in partnership with Taktika Padel, a San Diego-based group led by industry veterans Gabriel Pérez Krieb, Iñigo González, and Ryan Redondo. This collaboration brings together the star power of Agüero and Messi with the expertise of Taktika Padel, creating a formidable force in the padel world.
As the tournament approaches, the excitement surrounding Krü Padel by Taktika has reached fever pitch. The team’s franchise players, Argentine Federico Chingotto (world No. 4) and Claudia Jensen (world No. 13), are set to lead the charge. Under the guidance of coach Maxi Sánchez, a former world No. 1, the team has been preparing for their Hexagon Cup debut.
The synergy between Krü Esports and Taktika Padel has proven to be a masterstroke. Taktika’s extensive experience in padel infrastructure and player development, including their collaboration with the Paquito Navarro Academy, provides a rock-solid foundation for the team. This expertise, combined with Krü Esports’ digital savvy and massive following creates a potent blend. As the padel world eagerly anticipates the Alpine Hexagon Cup 2025, this partnership positions Krü Padel by Taktika not just as a formidable contender, but as a potential trendsetter in how padel teams operate and connect with fans in the digital age.
Agüero, who has taken a hands-on approach in developing this project, expressed his enthusiasm when the team was announced. “We are incredibly excited to expand Krü into such a dynamic sport as padel, especially alongside Taktika Padel,” he stated. “Hexagon is a platform that is taking this sport to another level, and we’re here to compete and give our best.”
The impact of Krü Padel by Taktika’s entry into the Hexagon Cup extends beyond the tournament itself. Their involvement has sparked increased interest in the sport, potentially paving the way for more high-profile teams in future editions of the cup.
Gabriel Pérez of Taktika Padel shared his perspective on joining the Hexagon Cup: “We’ve closely followed the Hexagon Cup project and realised that only strong leaders could encourage us to join this effort. In our initial discussions, KRÜ Padel emerged as the ideal choice for us. We believe that sport is a catalyst for building a better and more positive world, just as Kun and Lionel have done throughout their distinguished careers.”
As the padel world counts down the days to the Hexagon Cup, the anticipation surrounding Krü Padel by Taktika continues to build. With their unique blend of star power, technical expertise, and innovative approach to fan engagement, they’re not just participating in the tournament – they’re set to redefine what it means to be a padel team in the modern era.
The stage is set, the players are ready, and the padel world is watching. As Krü Padel by Taktika prepares to step onto the court at the Madrid Arena, one thing is certain: the Hexagon Cup is about to witness the dawn of a new era in padel.
Game on!
