Fabien Veber continues to represent France with distinction at the World Padel Championships, competing in his third global tournament under the French flag. The veteran player, competing in the +55 age category at the 2026 World Championship in Buenos Aires, Argentina, embodies a decade-long commitment to international padel excellence.
A Decade of International Pride
Fabien Veber's journey on the world stage began in 2016 when he competed at the World Padel Championship in Cascais, Portugal, alongside Mathieu Lapouge in the Seniors category. This marked a historic moment for Padel Horizon, as Veber and Lapouge became the first players from the organization to represent the French national team at a World Championship.
Six years later, Veber returned to championship competition at the 2022 World Padel Championship in Las Vegas, United States, where he competed in the +50 age category. Now, a decade into his international career, Veber is making his third World Championship appearance at the 2026 tournament in Buenos Aires, competing in the +55 category.
Consistency and Passion
What sets Veber apart is his unwavering dedication to the sport across multiple decades and age categories. Rather than stepping away from competition, he has embraced the progression through different age brackets while maintaining the same competitive fire that earned him his initial selection for the French national team.
His achievements reflect the broader growth of padel in France and the development of competitive pathways for players at all stages of their careers. Veber's participation in three World Championships over ten years demonstrates that padel offers meaningful international competition opportunities well into a player's veteran years.
Team Horizon's Pride
The Padel Horizon organization has expressed immense pride in Veber's continued representation of France. As one of the first players to carry the organization's legacy onto the world championship stage, Veber remains an ambassador for French padel excellence and a testament to the quality of players developed through Padel Horizon's programs.
His presence at the 2026 World Championship in Buenos Aires serves as inspiration for emerging players within the organization and reinforces the importance of sustained excellence in international padel competition.
