Everysport Media Group AB (publ.) (ESMG) today announces that its subsidiary Every Padel i Sverige AB (Every Padel) has entered into an agreement to acquire 100% of the shares in Padel Panorama AB (Padel Panorama).

Access will take place on July 1st this year.
Every Padel is one of the leading actors in the fast growing padel market and is expanding rapidly in Sweden.

A global initiative has also been taken to launch products and services that extend beyond the range of the facilities.
Every Padel's Chairman of the Board and ESMG's CEO Hannes Andersson comments:
“Every Padel continues to grow fast both organically and through acquisitions, and through the acquisition of Padel Panorama, we bring an absolute world-class facility into our portfolio. Every week, the facility is visited by over 5,000 customers, who will now be able to access Every Padel's offer both offline and online. We are also strengthening our position in the Jönköping region, which in the fall of 2021 will be supplemented with two more Every Padel facilities, and thereby become a hub for Every Padel's operations in Sweden ”
Padel Panorama's founder Kristoffer Göthner comments:
“In a short time, Padel Panorama has positioned itself as one of the leading padel facilities in Sweden and is today a meeting place with a unique atmosphere. Every Padel's concept will lift the facility to new levels and I look forward to seeing how our customers will get to take part in even more events, training and all the ancillary services that Every Padel offers. It has been a fantastically fun time with Padel Panorama, but seeing the business take the next step through Every Padel will be very exciting, both as a previous owner and as a continued player and customer.”

- The acquisition is part of Every Padel's and ESMG's joint strategy to grow into product areas within SportsTech and further grow the portfolio's end customer revenues. Every Padel already has 30,000 customers and will pass 50,000 customers in 2021.
