Italy’s national padel team has revealed its squad for the FIP Euro Padel Cup 2025, scheduled for October 21–25 in Cádiz, Spain, showcasing a dynamic mix of proven champions and headline-making newcomers. The women’s lineup features Carlotta Casali, Giulia Dal Pozzo, Giorgia Marchetti, Carolina Orsi, Chiara Pappacena, Martina Parmigiani, Emily Stellato, and Giulia Sussarello, while the men’s roster includes Flavio Abbate, Marco Cassetta, Simone Cremona, Lorenzo Di Giovanni, Giulio Graziotti, Simone Iacovino, Álvaro Montiel, and Aris Patiniotis. Among these names, three stand out as the story of the call-ups: Giulia Dal Pozzo, hailed as one of Italy’s most exciting young prospects, earns her first senior selection after a season of rapid ascent; Flavio Abbate, whose long-awaited invitation has been cheered by fans eager to see his powerful game on the international stage; and Simone Iacovino, born in 2002, rewarded with his maiden appearance after a year of steady breakthroughs. Adding further intrigue, Álvaro Montiel also debuts following a strong campaign alongside Abbate before choosing to partner with Juan Belluati. The announcement carries a note of surprise with the omission of veteran Lorena Vano, a reminder of the fierce competition for spots. Armed with this blend of established talent and electrifying new energy, Italy heads to Cádiz determined to convert its growing momentum into a podium finish on Europe’s biggest team stage.
