In October, the WBTA — World Beach Tennis Association — had its first official press conference at the TRYP by Wyndham Ribeirão Preto Hotel. The WBTA was created with the purpose of empowering Beach Tennis globally, promoting the sustainable growth of the sport and strengthening the connection between athletes, brands, organizers, and fans around the world. More than just a sport, Beach Tennis is a movement that unites people, inspires new generations, and connects cultures through values such as energy, inclusion, and perseverance. With a collaborative and sustainable vision, the WBTA seeks unity with the ITF, Confederations, and Federations to ensure greater organization, recognition, and international visibility for our sport. This press conference was just the first step.
