Madrid, 16 March 2024 – It has been four years since the courier and parcel delivery company, GLS Spain, began a relationship with the padel player Bea González that continues to this day. During this time, both the company and the athlete have experienced remarkable growth and have reached important milestones in their respective fields.
Bea Gonzalez closed last season in a spectacular way by winning the crown in the tournament of tournaments, the Boss Barcelona Master Final 2023, the most important of the circuit. There, “la Perla de El Palo” managed to become Master (MVP) of World Padel Tour 2023. She also won the World Team Champion title with Spain and, along with Delfi Brea, seven other titles.
In recent years, the number of spectators at padel tournaments has increased enormously. And the fact is that women’s padel is becoming extremely popular in Spain, with a 30% increase in attendance at tournaments and unprecedented media coverage in 2023.
As Luis Doncel, Group Region MD Iberia & Ireland, says: “Bea Gonzalez is an exceptional athlete who has contributed enormously to the growth and popularity of women’s padel in Spain and abroad. At GLS Spain we are proud to continue to be part of her path to excellence.”
GLS Spain’s commitment to the development and promotion of women’s sport is reflected in this close collaboration with one of the most prominent and beloved figures in the world of padel, Bea González.
