Rain Isabella Astaño Takes Philippine Pickleball to the World Stage

Fourteen years old Filipino pickleball athlete Rain Isabella Astaño is set to represent the Philippines at the Pickleball World Cup 2026, taking place in Da Nang, Vietnam, from August 30 to September 6.

A member of the Junior Philippine National Team, Astaño will compete in the Under-18 category, joining promising young athletes from across the globe on the international stage.

Her selection is a landmark achievement for Pinoy Pickleball Club DXB, as Astaño becomes the first athlete from the UAE-based club to compete internationally while representing the Philippines.

Astaño’s journey from the pickleball courts of Dubai to the World Cup reflects the growing opportunities for young Filipino athletes in the UAE and highlights the talent, dedication, and determination of the next generation of Filipino sports stars.

Her achievement is also a proud moment for the Filipino pickleball community in the UAE, which continues to support and nurture young athletes pursuing their dreams in the sport.

As Rain Isabella Astaño prepares to take on the world’s best young pickleball players, the Filipino community in the UAE and the Philippines will be cheering her on every step of the way.

Congratulations, Rain Isabella! Carry the Philippine flag with pride, play your heart out, and show the world what young Filipino athletes can achieve!

Laban, Rain! 🇵🇭
