Opening GARRINCHA Ghent Arsenaal
A new hotspot for padel in Ghent
GARRINCHA continues to grow. On Thursday, October 2, we officially opened the doors of GARRINCHA Gent Arsenaal, our newest indoor padel location, this time in an impressive, industrial railway hall in Gentbrugge. After months of planning and a huge rush in the final weeks to get everything ready, we’re proud to open 9 brand-new indoor padel courts together with Padel4U2, the first padel club in Belgium. The new center is fully in line with the urban energy GARRINCHA stands for.
The new location responds to the increasing demand for quality indoor padel facilities in and around Ghent. The center is fully Pay2Play, so everyone is welcome without a membership, you can simply book via the Playtomic app, and the first two weeks are completely free.
As the first padel club in Belgium, active since 2012, we are particularly proud to write this new chapter together with GARRINCHA at the Arsenaal site in Gentbrugge. Additionally, and especially, covered padel courts are very much needed in the Ghent region, and this location, right next to our existing club, gives us the opportunity to further expand our operations.Jana Bonnarens , Manager Padel4U2
We are thankful to GARRINCHA for the smooth collaboration over the past years and for the trust in our padel expertise. Thanks to this strong partner, we can not only offer more opportunities to recreational players, but also further strengthen our competitive structure and our youth and adult training programs through the NXT Padel Academy. This project is the result of four years of joint preparation, and we look forward to playing here, together with all padel lovers in Ghent, throughout the entire year.Jana Bonnarens , Manager Padel4U2
GARRINCHA Gent Arsenaal is exactly what we stand for. Transforming a raw, industrial hall into a place where sport lives and people come together. It’s not just about padel here, but about what happens around it: energy, experience, and community. Just like in all our locations, it’s about the vibe, not just about sport. This is more than a padel center, it’s a place where people come together, have fun, and become part of a growing sports community.
