Recently, PPA Tour Asia officially announced the Facolos brand as the Official Racquet Partner of the entire PPA Asia Tour tournament system - the first professional tournament branch of PPA to expand in the Asian region. Facolos is known to be the only Asian racquet brand on this list, alongside Paddletek and Franklin - two of the world's leading pickleball racquet brands. This is an important milestone, marking Facolos' long-term commitment to the Pickleball development strategy in Asia - not only stopping at providing international standard competition equipment, but also raising the image, voice and bravery of regional athletes on the global Pickleball map.
PPA Tour Asia is a professional pickleball tournament system, built according to international standards, to gather the best players in the region and the world. With the goal of developing pickleball into a more popular and professional sport in Asia, PPA Tour Asia not only provides a top-notch playground for athletes but also contributes to promoting the movement, raising community awareness and creating high-class sports experiences for fans.
Statement from UPA Asia Representative
Speaking at the ceremony, Ms. Kimberly Koh, Executive Director of UPA Asia, emphasized:
“Facolos, Paddletek and Franklin joining forces as Official Racquet Partners demonstrates the brands’ belief in the growth potential of pickleball in Asia, as well as their strong commitment to promoting the regional tournament system.
This comprehensive investment not only contributes to building PPA Tour Asia into a world-class tournament system, but also supports the development of pickleball at all levels across the region.”
Thus, Facolos will accompany the entire journey of PPA Tour Asia 2025, participating in all tournaments in the official system of the first season.
This year’s PPA Tour Asia is organised in a three-tier structure of Slam, Cup and Open, with points accumulated throughout to rank and compete for the prestigious No. 1 Asian title. The inaugural season will kick off with the Panas Malaysia Open from July 3–6 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Other notable tournaments include the Hong Kong Open in August in Hong Kong, China, the Sansan Fukuoka Open in Japan also in August, and the Kuala Lumpur Cup in October.
Facolos - Vietnamese brand reaches international level
Not only asserting itself in the international arena, Facolos is also a pioneer brand in expanding and developing the pickleball community in Vietnam, while constantly investing in research and development of high-quality product lines. With efforts to innovate technology, production and sponsor tournaments, Facolos has quickly become a familiar name, trusted by many international organizations and professional tennis players: Mitch Hargreaves - Australia's No. 1 tennis player, top Malaysian tennis players, and the Facolos Global Team including Nguyen Anh Thang, Huynh Chi Khuong,...
As a testament to the quality of its products, the company recently launched the Elite X racket line, equipped with a modern technology core with an EVA ring to increase stability and an Explosion ring to increase support, providing superior strength, meeting the strict requirements of professional athletes.
With important steps such as becoming an official partner of PPA Tour Asia 2025, and continuously researching and improving products, Facolos is gradually asserting itself not only as a Vietnamese brand but also as a typical representative of Asia in the world pickleball arena.
In the future, Facolos will continue to accompany athletes, tournaments and sports organizations to develop pickleball not only in Vietnam but also globally, contributing to raising the position of domestic sports on the international map.
