| March 10, 2025
The UPA Asia Trailblazers Program is excited to welcome Facolos as an official Paddle Partner, bringing homegrown Asian innovation and design to support the development of the region’s top pickleball talent.
Headquartered in Vietnam with a vision to blend sporting excellence and style (Fashion – Active – Connection – Outstanding – Life Of Style), Facolos represents the rising power of Asian brands in the global pickleball marketplace. Having already served as an event partner for PPA Tour Australia, Facolos stands at the forefront of expanding pickleball across the Asia Pacific region. Through this partnership, they will provide their cutting-edge paddles to help outfit Asia’s emerging talent on their quest to the professional stage.
Trailblazers athletes will benefit from Facolos’ unique approach to paddle design during their three-month intensive training program in the USA. While receiving high performance coaching from elite professionals and competing in PPA Tour events, select participants will use Facolos equipment, enhancing both their gameplay and presence on court.
Upon completing the program, graduates will secure their place in the professional circuit through a 2025-2026 UPA Asia Touring Contract, featuring in both PPA Tour & MLP Asia events throughout the region.
The Class of 2025 for the UPA Asia Trailblazers Program is set to be unveiled soon.
