2025 Pickleball World Cup This Week

A Global Stage on Florida Courts: The 2025 Pickleball World Cup Hits Fort Lauderdale

🌍 Why This Event Matters

From October 28 through November 2, 2025, the sprawling 43-court facility at The FORT Pickleball (891 SW 34th St, Fort Lauderdale) plays host to one of the largest international pickleball competitions in the world. Registered participants will include more than 3,000 athletes representing over 80 countries.

This kind of global sporting event isn’t just a highlight for sport-fans — it signals something larger for South Florida’s real estate and lifestyle markets: connectivity, international interest, and a vibrant community energy that adds value for local neighborhoods.

🏡 What It Means for South Florida Lifestyle & Real Estate

🛥 Lifestyle & Amenities

Events like the World Cup bring premium amenities and infrastructure to the area: world-class sport venues, hospitality tie-ins, and heightened visibility. For residents and homebuyers, that translates to:

• Increased demand for homes in neighborhoods with proximity to such venues

• Rising interest in properties offering access to sport, recreation, and social scenes

• Lifestyle cross-overs: buyers who may come for sport now see the region as place to live

📈 Real Estate Appeal

The international draw of the event underscores South Florida’s appeal as a global destination — for investment, second-homes, and relocations. Neighborhoods near Fort Lauderdale (and more widely across Miami-Dade/Broward) benefit from:

• Increased international awareness of the region

• More demand for well-located properties with strong amenities

• Potential uptick in resale value as activity and services expand

🌇 Neighborhoods in Focus

Neigborhoods that stand to gain when events of this nature occur:

• Fort Lauderdale / Downtown — near the venue, urban convenience, strong future appreciation.

• Brickell / Miami Beach / Biscayne Corridor — for buyers who want to be part of the bigger South Florida coastal lifestyle.

• Residential enclaves like Miami Shores, Biscayne Park — mixing quieter homes with access to major event hubs.

For my clients, I’m watching how events like the Pickleball World Cup elevate local demand, and I encourage buyers to consider not just the home, but the experience a neighborhood offers.”
