Eran Zahavi Launches Major National Padel League and Facility
Former Maccabi Tel Aviv and Israeli national team captain Eran Zahavi has entered the business world of padel, one year after retiring from professional soccer. Zahavi announced the launch of a new national league, the EZ7 PADEL TOUR, along with a new padel facility he owns and a broader brand campaign.
The initiative includes collaborations with former tennis player Andy Ram and businessman Joey Lau, aiming to expand activities in the growing racket sport. A proposal has been submitted to establish an indoor padel facility in Ra'anana, with additional tournaments planned across the country.
As part of the marketing campaign for the league and facility, which features products branded PADEL SICKO, Zahavi distributed launch kits including hats and brochures. Notable figures who received these kits and expressed support include Dani Ropp, Ben Zini, Maor Melikson, and Shalom Michaelashvili.
