The Government Council rectified a previous resolution to correct information on seating capacity and athlete distribution for the 2026 Autonomy Padel Tournament.
The Regional Government rectified Resolution No. 546/2026, which authorized the signing of a program contract with Clube Quinta do Padel for the 2026 Autonomy Padel Tournament. The amendment, approved by Resolution of the Regional Government Council No. 753/2026, corrects two points in the original text.
Firstly, where it stated that the 128 athletes would be "equally distributed between the male and female categories," it now reads only "distributed between the male and female categories."
Secondly, and more significantly, the total capacity of the stands to be installed has been revised downward. The initial resolution provided for stands with a capacity of 326 seats, a figure that has been rectified to 120 seats.
The tournament, which involves athletes from the Autonomous Regions of Madeira, the Azores, and the Canary Islands, remains an event with an inter-regional dimension and international projection, according to the official document.
