The 2026 three-region team pickleball tournament was introduced with plans for 32 teams and more than 400 participants in Hanoi, Thanh Nien reported. Each team will have 12 players and a captain, competing across five skill-based categories.
Organizers plan eight groups followed by knockout rounds and Championship Cup and Challenger Cup brackets. Each player may play only one match in a team encounter, making roster allocation important. The proposed prize pool is VND225 million.
