Eran Zahavi launches his own padel league: "EZ7 Padel Tour"
Israeli football star Eran Zahavi is expanding his business portfolio by launching a national padel league and opening a new sports complex under his ownership.
Eran Zahavi, captain of Maccabi Tel Aviv and former Israel national team player, continues to expand his ventures in the world of business and sports. The star is launching a new sports project, a national padel league called "EZ7 Padel Tour," alongside a new padel complex under his ownership. The tournament will travel between various courts across the country, bringing the local sports community together. The initiative has already gained momentum on social media with the launch of the league's official Instagram page and the distribution of branded PR kits—including rackets, hats, and equipment—to industry stars and key figures.
The sport, which has become a popular hobby among footballers in Israel and globally, is no stranger to Zahavi. He plays regularly in his free time, making the transition from amateur player to entrepreneur and owner a natural step. The teasers posted on social media have received praise from close friends and sports figures, including Moran Wizel (son of Harel Wizel and CEO of Nike Israel), Bnei Yehuda footballer Eliran Atar, and Maor Buzaglo, who commented that the new league would inspire him to take professional lessons.
This new venture joins Zahavi's extensive business portfolio, which includes investments in real estate, cafes, and sports technology. Notable steps in the real estate sector include expanding his holdings in the Mazkeret Batya employment area, where he and his partner, Avi Arbiv, purchased an additional 10 dunams of land following the "ELEVEN CENTER" commercial and office project. Alongside these, Zahavi is also invested in technology companies such as PlaySight, cementing his status as an active and calculated entrepreneur in the Israeli business landscape.
