Stormzy Invests In London-Based Padel Social Club
Padel Social Club (PSC) has welcomed Brit Award-winning, multi-platinum artist Stormzy as an investor. The grime artist becomes the latest celebrity to invest in the world’s fastest-growing sport. He joins stars such as Lionel Messi and David Beckham in his patronage.
The investment comes as PSC is set to unveil new courts at The O2. As well as open a six-court indoor club in Wandsworth in early summer 2025. The expansion at The O2 has also grown from an initial plan of three courts to five. This is due to the overwhelming success of PSC’s debut Earls Court location. It will feature both indoor and outdoor options, with the full club set to be unveiled in Spring 2025.
The partnership marks an exciting new chapter. One that solidifies PSC’s position as the country’s premier destination for padel and expands its footprint across the country.
PSC to take padel to “new heights”
Stormzy, now Padel Social Club Investor, said: “Padel isn’t just another sport – it’s got something that draws everyone in, whether you’re new to the game or already hooked, as I am.
“What really stood out to me about Padel Social Club is that they’re doing more than just building courts – they’re creating a community and bringing people together through the sport. That’s why I’m excited to be an investor and part of this journey. Big things are coming!”
Kristian Hunter, CEO of Padel Social Club, added: “Having Stormzy invest in Padel Social Club is a significant moment for us. While he’s renowned for his music, he’s also made his mark in both sport and business, and his passion for community perfectly aligns with what we stand for.
“Together, we’re taking padel to new heights in the UK. With Stormzy’s backing and our expansion at The O2 and Wandsworth, we’re building a brand that’s about more than just the sport—it’s about creating a place where people can come together, play, and experience the full Padel Social Club lifestyle.”
As part of its broader growth strategy, PSC is rolling out a national expansion. The expansion is set to bring premium padel experiences to communities across the UK by 2025. With upcoming launches at Wandsworth, The O2, and other key sites, PSC is leading the UK’s booming padel movement. One that aims to create vibrant, socially inclusive spaces for players to connect both on and off the court.
