Acenta Group AB has successfully completed the first deliveries under its exclusive partnership with Irish company Padel Sports 100 Limited, marking a key step in the rollout of padel courts across Ireland. The initial 12 courts have now been installed, initiating revenue generation under the agreement, which is valued at approximately EUR 3.6 million.

The next phase of the project will see 38 additional courts delivered between December 2025 and March 2026, completing the initial 50-court rollout.

“The successful delivery of the first 12 courts marks an important milestone in our partnership with Padel 100 and demonstrates our ability to deliver large-scale padel infrastructure on time and to plan. With the next phase now underway, we are beginning to see the long-term revenue model materialise—confirming the strength of our strategy and our role as a key enabler of Ireland’s padel growth,” said Håkan Tollefsen, CEO of Acenta Group AB.

The completion of these first deliveries signals the transition into the next stage of the Irish rollout, cementing Acenta Group’s role in supporting Padel 100’s ambitious growth strategy.
