In the padel circuit for the legends of football, an all-Italian success: Shevchenko and Materazzi were also present. And president Alessandro Moggi announces: “Next year it will be played both in Rome and Milan”
The EA7 World Legends Padel Tour 2025 has ended, with the final stop in Miami, for the Finals of the tour involving football legends, whose president is Alessandro Moggi. Seven stages and a year of competitions finally rewarded Luca Toni and Luca Ceccarelli. Graduated as world champions in a final as…world champions! On the other side of the net, on the Ultra Padel courts in Florida, they beat Francesco Totti and Fernando Llorente. Only Ceccarelli, of the four finalists, has failed to triumph in a football World Cup in his career.

The very popular match saw the two Lucas triumph 6-3 6-3, paired by draw, after they had defeated the Vieri/Perotti pair 9-8 in the semi-final. The awards ceremonies, also regarding the individual awards, took place in the beautiful setting of the Faena Theatre. “It was truly a fantastic tournament”, commented Toni, “and it was wonderful, during the draws that officially opened the two days in Miami, to be paired with Luca Ceccarelli, with whom I often play during the year. On the court, we have a particular feeling, and I think it showed. EA7 World Legends Padel Tour makes us feel good, it has a very high organizational level, an excellent quality from every point of view”.

Francesco Totti, one of the five world champions present (Materazzi and Candela were also there, as well as a Ballon d’Or winner like Shevchenko), was elected best player of the Miami stage during the gala evening. The best player of the season award instead went to former Roma player Candela. A success with the public, even during the year, as confirmed by Alessandro Moggi: “I want to thank the many Legends who were at our side in 2025 too, and the sponsors, led by EA7 Emporio Armani because, without them, the World Legends Padel Tour simply couldn’t exist. They allow us to think big, so much so that today I can already announce at least three new features for 2026, and others will come. The first: the Italian stages pass from one to two, in addition to Rome, they will also be played in Milan, and this will be the inaugural stage of the EA7 World Legends Padel Tour 2026. The second: for the first time we will go to Asia, specifically to Hong Kong. The third: the Finals return to Dubai”.
