Pickleball's global footprint is expanding fast—and Sri Lanka is stepping confidently onto the international stage. Pipinya Pickleball Sri Lanka is gearing up to host the Skechers Pickleball Grand Slam 2025, a milestone event that will take place from May 30 to June 1 at the Moratuwa Pickleball Club.

While countries like the USA, Canada, and India have long been at the forefront of pickleball’s rise, Sri Lanka is now emerging as a serious player in the regional scene. The upcoming Grand Slam will be the country’s most significant pickleball event to date, celebrating the sport’s momentum in one of South Asia’s most dynamic and sport-loving nations.

The tournament will feature men’s, women’s, and mixed doubles, as well as an over-40s category, providing competitive opportunities for players of various levels and age groups. More importantly, it will spotlight the community spirit and diversity that make pickleball so universally appealing.

This landmark event is backed by Skechers, a brand that has firmly established itself as one of the sport’s most enthusiastic global partners. Following their success in Malaysia with the Skechers Malaysia Pickleball Tournament, Skechers has now extended its footprint into Sri Lanka through a local partnership with Vibe by Abans, serving as the official footwear sponsor of the Grand Slam.

The involvement of Skechers signals more than just brand alignment—it reflects the rising commercial viability of pickleball in emerging markets. With its mix of competitive intensity and accessibility, the sport is proving to be a magnet not only for athletes but also for global sponsors looking to engage passionate local communities.

For Pipinya Pickleball Sri Lanka, the event is a proud benchmark. It symbolizes a coming of age for the country's pickleball movement and the culmination of years of groundwork aimed at introducing the sport, building a grassroots player base, and fostering a new generation of competitors and enthusiasts.

As players prepare to compete under the Sri Lankan sun, one thing is clear: pickleball’s rise in Sri Lanka is no longer just a promise—it’s a reality. And with events like the Skechers Pickleball Grand Slam leading the way, the country is poised to become a regional force in the sport.
