Italy already has its representatives to dispute the next World Cup in Dubai. Coaches Miguel Sciorilli and Marcela Ferrari have announced the players that will be part of the Italian national team, with some novelties.

Little by little, the members of the national padel teams that will represent their countries at the next World Championships in Dubai on 31 October are being confirmed.

With coaches Marcela Ferrari and Miguel Sciorilli, Italy has given the final list of players who will make up the national team, with several new additions to the men's and women's squads.

Men's team

Argentine Miguel Sciorilli, the new coach of the Italian men's national team, presented the list of players chosen to try to repeat the good performance of the last World Cup, where the Italians achieved a fifth place.
