Facolos Announces Major Tie Ups as It Continues to Widen Pickleball Footprint
Facolos is ushering in a new era of pickleball in Asia!
Recently, PPA Tour Asia officially announced Facolos as the Official Racquet Partner of the UPA Asia Trailblazers Programme. The announcement makes Facolos the only Asian racquet brand used by the programme alongside JOOLA—one of the world’s leading pickleball racquet brands. This is an important milestone for the Vietnam-based company as it marks Facolos’s commitment to supporting and developing pickleball in Asia.
The UPA Asia Trailblazers Programme is an intensive training program to identify and develop top pickleball talents in Asia. Through the program, the PPA Tour will select the region’s best players, divide them into different teams to participate in training in the United States. As the Official Racquet Partner of the programme, Facolos will provide high-quality pickleball racquets with the latest technology, specifically designed to optimise performance, to the young talents participating in the UPA Asia Trailblazers Program.
Facolos is a pioneer brand in expanding and developing the pickleball community in Vietnam, while constantly investing in research and development of high-quality product lines. Through efforts in technological innovation, production and sponsorship of tournaments, Facolos has quickly become a familiar name, trusted by many international organisations and professional players. This latest tie up with the PPA Tour Asia highlights its growing footprint globally.
Showing Out, the Facolos Way
As another testament to product quality, Facolos’s F-Pro Advanced ball line with its outstanding improvements in technology and design has recently been selected by the WPC (World Pickleball Championship) as the official match ball for the entire series of tournaments in Asia in 2025. This is an important step forward, helping Facolos affirm its position in this rapidly growing sport industry.
Even with its recent successes, Facolos is still continuing to promote product research and development, bringing the most advanced technological improvements to the pickleball community. In the near future, the company will launch the Elite X racket line, equipped with a modern technology core with an EVA ring to increase stability and an Explosion ring to increase support. This new line also provides superior power and meets the strict requirements of professional athletes.
Although not officially launched, Elite X has quickly been chosen by many top players to accompany them in major tournaments such as Mitch Hargreaves, Australia’s No. 1 player, top Malaysian players, and the Facolos Global Team that includes Nguyen Anh Thang, Sophia Phuong Anh…
World, Meet Facolos!
With important steps such as becoming the official partner of PPA Tour Asia Trailblazers, being trusted by WPC to be the official match ball, and continuously researching and improving products, Facolos is gradually asserting itself not only as a Vietnamese brand but also as a proud representative of Asia in the world pickleball arena.
In the future, Facolos will continue to accompany athletes, tournaments, and sports organisations to develop pickleball not only in Vietnam but also globally. It will also aim to put Asia front and centre in the growing pickleball community of the world.
