Elite Sports Management is proud to share that two of the athletes we represent, Nico Agritelley and Clementina Riobueno, have been named to the United States national teams that will compete at the FIP World Padel Cup Regional Qualifier. It is a milestone moment for both players and a proud one for everyone at ESM who has watched them put in the work to get here.

The road runs through Toronto

The North and Central America Regional Qualifier takes place from July 31 to August 2, 2026, at The District Padel and Pickleball in Toronto, hosted by Padel Canada under the sanction of the International Padel Federation (FIP). The stakes could not be higher. Two men’s teams and one women’s team from the region will punch their tickets to the FIP World Padel Cup finals in November 2026 in Doha, Qatar, padel’s biggest stage.

For Nico and Clemen, wearing the Team USA colors is both a reward for what they have already achieved and a chance to help write the next chapter of American padel on the international stage.

What is at stake

The qualifier is a direct pathway to the World Padel Cup finals, one of the most prestigious team events in the sport. A strong showing in Toronto would place Nico, Clemen, and their teammates among the nations competing for a world title in Doha this November. Beyond the results, moments like these matter for the broader story of padel in the United States, a sport growing faster here than almost anywhere else, now carried forward by players like these two.

From all of us at ESM

“Both Clemen and Nico are veterans of this game, and representing their country is always an honor for them. We could not be prouder to cheer them on as they carry the flag for Team USA in Toronto,” Elite Sports Management.

We will be behind Nico and Clemen every step of the way in Toronto. Follow along with us and with USA Padel for match updates, results, and the road to Doha. Vamos, Team USA.
