Team Nicaragua Heads to 2025 Pickleball World Cup

We just got back to Nicaragua and have some exciting news to share. Last October, the Cabieses Foundation hosted the first Pickleball World Cup in Peru. This year, the event is moving to one of the top pickleball facilities in the world, The Fort in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. For the second year in a row, Team Nicaragua will be competing in the World Cup. Our team is grateful for the opportunity to represent Nicaragua on an international stage.

Last year, the entire team was made up of expats. This year, though, we are excited to have native Nicaraguan athletes joining the roster. It is a big step forward. Pickleball is still mostly an expat sport in Nicaragua, but seeing local players step up shows just how fast the game is growing here.

Everyone is already putting in the work, focusing on drills and conditioning sessions. The level of commitment is strong, and everyone is doing their best to represent Nicaragua well. We are still ironing out some of the details about who will be playing and how everything will come together, but one thing is clear: Team Nicaragua will bring a powerful mix of effort, teamwork, heart, and national pride to the World Cup.

Looking ahead, the hope is to one day see a full squad made up entirely of Nicaraguan nationals competing on the world stage. We are not there yet, but the momentum is building, and it is exciting to be part of it.
