Padel courts in Moldova
Padel arrived in Moldova only a few years ago and has grown quickly since. Almost all of it is played in Chisinau, where eight clubs and around 28 courts are spread across Botanica, Rîșcani and Telecentru. Padel has also reached Transnistria and Gagauzia: Lions Arena in Tiraspol was one of the country's first padel courts, and Padel Hub Găgăuzia opened in Comrat in 2026 as the first club in the south.
Prices vary by city and currency: in Chisinau an hour of court time runs 300–600 lei, in Comrat it's around 440 lei, and in Tiraspol clubs charge in Transnistrian rubles. Most clubs include rackets in the price, and several have indoor courts for winter play. Compare clubs and book a court on PADO in a few seconds.
