Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – July 30, 2025 — Flex League, a fast-growing Saudi Arabia-based sports-tech platform focused on racquet sports, has raised a six-figure USD Seed funding round to accelerate its regional growth and product development. The round was led by The Professional Tennis Academy and PAD-L Group—strategic investors with extensive networks of padel and tennis courts across the Kingdom.
Founded by Ibrahim Akeel, Faisal Sindi, and Mazen Madani, Flex League enables players to join flexible competitions, book courts, and track their performance via a user-friendly digital platform. With nearly 10,000 players already on board, the startup is quickly becoming a central hub for competitive and community-based racquet sports in Saudi Arabia and beyond.
The freshly secured funding will be used to:
-
Launch a new court booking system fully integrated with Flex League’s existing matchmaking and competition tools.
-
Expand operations across Saudi Arabia and key MENA markets, targeting racquet sports communities in major urban centers.
-
Grow the Flex League team, with new hires planned across engineering, product development, and operations.
“With this investment, we’re creating a unified platform where players can compete, connect, and now book courts—all in one app,” said Ibrahim Akeel, CEO of Flex League. “At the same time, we’re giving court operators the tools they need to run tournaments, drive community engagement, and contribute to the competitive ecosystem.”
Flex League originally launched to support amateur players who wanted the flexibility to compete on their own schedule. The platform has since evolved into a comprehensive solution for both players and court operators, offering tools for tournament management, community building, and performance tracking.
With strategic backing and a growing user base, Flex League is well-positioned to play a key role in the Kingdom’s booming racquet sports scene, which has seen exponential growth in padel and tennis participation in recent years.
