Booking platform MATCHi grows — acquires popular streaming platform

The MATCHi booking platform was founded in 2012 and has grown rapidly for players and clubs within racket sports. 

In padel, they have partnerships with major chains such as WAP, PDL (Sweden), Game4Padel (UK), and Racket Club (Denmark). 

One of the fastest-growing racket sports platforms for connecting players with venues is acquiring the streaming platform Padelgo as part of the venture. 

”With its strong track record and innovative culture, Padelgo is a great addition to MATCHi´s product portfolio. The acquisition gives us the opportunity to increase customer value and to enhance our tournament platform and on-premise services at multiple touchpoints to give players and venues the best possible experience”, Daniel Ekman, CEO at MATCHi, says in a press release.
