After three action-packed days the curtain closed on the first-ever Sri Lanka Padel League (SLPL) with the Colombo Aces emerging as the champions. In the final held at Padel House, CR & FC, the Colombo Aces defeated the Galle Fort Mariners in a high-intensity tie that went the full distance. With one win apiece going into the Mixed Doubles, the Aces held their nerve to take the decider 6-2, 7-6 [7-4], etching their name into Sri Lankan sporting history.
Viren Beruwalage, Co-owner of the Colombo Aces, praised the resilience of his team: “Every player did their best. We knew it would come down to those last few points, and they held strong. Winning the very first SLPL title is something we’ll remember forever.”
The league featured 8 franchise teams battling it out across Men’s, Women’s, and Mixed Doubles categories. Yala Rangers claimed third place over the Trinco Titans, while Ahangama Good Buggers, Unawatuna Makaras, The Recovery Room – Arugambay, and Ella Archers completed the rankings in a weekend that saw every team fight with pride.
Reflecting on the success of the league, Karin Wijeratne, co-owner of the Sri Lanka Padel League, shared: “What we saw this weekend was more than just a tournament. It was a statement – that Sri Lanka is ready to embrace padel at the highest level.”
With HD broadcast on PEO SPORTS 1 and free nationwide streaming via the PEO MOBILE App, the SLPL brought the excitement of padel to screens across Sri Lanka – thanks to the support of title partner Spa Ceylon, powered-by partner Uber One, and a lineup of dynamic brand partners.
