They will have their own team, called 10Padelwhich they will have to try to lead to victory. They still have to choose your player and your franchise playeressential to achieve success on the track, but they will put in all their efforts to win the crown in the capital.
Having Gasly and Loïc opens up an immense range of possibilities for us
For its part, Enrique Buenaventurafounder of the Hexagon Cup, is very happy to have a figure of Pierre’s stature and an investor as strong as Loïc: “It opens up a huge range of possibilities for us. This team is going to give us a lot of visibility and, together, create new audiences“.

The first edition of the Hexagon Cup was a success, but One of the main problems it had was the difficulty of the format. Once explained, it wasn’t that complicated, but at first it was complex to understand. The fact that there were only six teams did not make things easier and one of the objectives was to add two more, something that has been achieved in the best way. That of ‘Kun’ Agüero and Leo Messi, together with that of Gasly, add up to those eight that make things simplerin addition to adding 12 new players for this edition.
Very diverse stars
The owners are a fundamental part to give visibility to this Hexagon Cupbut instead of focusing on a specific discipline, They have diversified to cover the maximum possible fields.
Hay two tennis players, two businessmen, a Hollywood actress, three soccer players and, now, a Formula 1 driver. It is practically impossible to add better names from such different origins. One more proof of the success of this competition and this sport, capable of attracting anyone.
In addition, it is increasingly international, since within the Hexagon Cup they were represented Puerto Rico, United Kingdom, Poland, United States and Spain. Now they add up Argentina and France to give even more spice to a competition that knows no borders. Kun and Messi will give the albiceleste touch, while Loïc and Gasly will be in charge of placing their country at the top. All the ingredients for a perfect recipe.
